Let’s start with what matters most in any preseason game: Bears quarterback Justin Fields is fine after taking a hard hit to the head and an unnerving near-miss with his right leg.
Chiefs safety Juan Thornhill inexplicably dropped his right shoulder into the left side of Fields as he slid at the end of a run for no gain in the first quarter. The hit sent Fields’ head whipping back, and he popped up with his arms out in disbelief that there was no flag.
That’s the last thing the Bears want to see in a preseason game.
