After missing the past two games with a dislocated thumb, Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields may be nearing a return to action with the organization hoping he'll be ready to play in Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini.
Fields, 24. suffered the injury back on Oct. 15 in a loss against the Minnesota Vikings and is set to miss Sunday's contest against the New Orleans Saints. The Bears think he could possibly be ready by Thursday night's matchup, however.
The former first-round pick was back at practice and throwing for the first time since the injury this week.
