Bears' Justin Fields out vs. Raiders with Thumb Injury, 'Trending in Right Direction'

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Friday that quarterback Justin Fields will miss Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a thumb injury on his throwing hand.

According to Adam Jahns of The Athletic, Eberflus described Fields as week-to-week but said he is "improving" and "trending in the right direction."

Fields suffered a dislocated right thumb during his team's 19-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings last week. Eberflus told reporters the following day that he was unlikely to play the team's Oct. 22 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
