With the Chicago Bears facing the Carolina Panthers tomorrow night, each team has dropped their final injury report for the game, and Tyson Bagent will get the start at quarterback again.
Head coach Matt Ebrflus said that Justin Fields is “progressing every day” but that he’s “not medically cleared yet.”
Chicago’s official injury report lists Fields as doubtful with the right thumb injury he sustained on October 15, but Eberflus said that Fields is out and that Bagent will start with Nathan Peterman backing him up.
However, Eberflus also said that Fields will get a chance to throw on Thursday during pregame to see how he feels, hence the doubtful designation.
