The Bears reported that their highly touted QB was limited on practice day. 24-year-old Fields is registered as day-to-day. Many expect him to miss out on the clash against the Panthers this Thursday. But the offensive coordinator for the Bears does have plans if Fields decides to play through injury.
Luke Getsy, the offensive coordinator for the Bears before the important game spoke to the Chicago Sun-Times. He said, “We’re on the sideline and we’re talking, and if he’s feeling something during the game, then we’ll lean [away from] those areas as well”. Fields just might have to soldier on for this clash!

The Bears (7-2) are coming off a tough loss against the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers lost to the Colts last week after registering their first win of the season against the Texans. Both teams would love to be on the win column but only one can.
