If the Bears really cared about protecting his thumb, they would have given him a real offensive line to work behind instead of a REAL OFFENSIVE line to work behind

Can Fields be a legit RB1 in the league if he misses for a right thumb injury?

It's hard to find a RB1 that can last all 17 games!

How long did he have to throw on the play he got the thumb injury?

Im more worried about wtf is going on with roschon.

2 weeks and he's still not out of the concussion protocol, thats scary

19 seconds.....fking oline!

All I keep seeing is "dislocated thumb" with no announcement re recovery time. We need more info but I guarantee if it's a UCL tear he needs surgery and would be doubtful to return this year.

It was a scary hit. You could hear the helmets pop on the broadcast. In this case, over precaution is the best course of action.

 

[Spitta Andretti]

7 seconds to throw on the play he got injured.

The coaching and offensive line have their issues but Fields freezing up is maddening

Very true.

On national radio today, when they announced he was out Sunday, they said 'fractured thumb.' First I'd heard that.

Fields has 31 starts, 2 systems...not even 2 seasons and clowns have become QB analysts and scouts. It amazes me that Fields 24 will not be developed by this shit hole franchise

Heard that this injury is usually a 2-4 week recovery time.

Officially 13 years in a row a Bears QB hasn’t played whole season. Where can you look to see if this is a record… because it has to be.

It’s gotta be close if it isn’t the nfl record. Be a good question to ask a reporter. This team needs to prioritize the oline. I think Poles will do that but not taking the center is maddening to me still. I can’t get over it especially watching musical chairs every week.

I'm surprised we haven't heard more about Roschan's status. It's actually more than 2 weeks because he got hurt on a Thursday. He hasn't passed concussion protocol for a game 17 days after the injury when the average NFL player clears protocol in 8 to 9 days.

UCL tear? The ulnar collateral ligament? What? He dislocated his thumb not his elbow!

No IR so that's how it appears.
