Bears OC Luke Getsy prepared to adapt game plan if QB Justin Fields plays through injury

The Bears are 19th in the NFL at 20.9 points per game.

Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy said Tuesday that he is prepared to game plan around any limitations quarterback Justin Fields might have if he plays through his thumb injury Thursday night against the Panthers.

Getsy said it’s “certainly” a consideration that Fields could play but not be at full capacity, which could cause caution about making certain throws or the various ways the Bears use him as a running threat.

He is planning for both Fields and backup quarterback Tyson Bagent, who started the last three games while Fields was out.
