Bears QB Justin Fields injures left shoulder on final drive: 'Pain right now is pretty bad'

ATLANTA -- Bears quarterback Justin Fields injured his left shoulder in the final moments of Chicago's 27-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday and required further medical examination following the game.

Fields injured his non-throwing shoulder on the first play of the Bears' last drive when he rushed toward Chicago's sideline for a 1-yard gain on a designed run. The quarterback landed hard on his left shoulder out of bounds after he was tackled and was slow to get up. Fields took another hit to the affected area moments later on another run play when Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett hit the quarterback with his helmet as Fields was sliding.
