LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields returned to practice Friday for the first time since dislocating his right thumb on Oct. 15.

Fields, who was ruled out by coach Matt Eberflus on Monday, is officially listed as doubtful to play against the New Orleans Saints. Rookie Tyson Bagent is expected to start his third straight game in Fields' absence.
