Fields (hand) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fields departed in the middle of the third quarter following a sack, which forced a visit to the sideline tent and eventually the locker room. With the Bears ruling him out, he'll end Week 6 action with 58 yards, no touchdowns and one interception on 6-for-10 passing and eight carries for 46 yards. Fields handed off the Bears offense to undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent.

The Bears list Fields as questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Fields is receiving further evaluation after he appeared to injure his throwing hand when he took a sack early in the third quarter. Tyson Bagent took over at quarterback for Fields, who carried eight times for 46 yards and completed six of 10 pass attempts for 58 yards and an interception prior to his departure.

Fields exited Sunday's game against the Vikings due to a right hand injury, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After taking a sack in the third quarter, Fields paid a visit to the sideline medical tent before making his way to the locker room with a towel over his right hand. The nature of the issue isn't known, but as long as Fields is sidelined, undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent will direct the Bears offense.

Fields completed 15 of 29 passes for 282 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions while adding 57 yards on 11 rushes in the Bears' 40-20 win over the Commanders on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Four days after a stellar showing against the shaky Broncos secondary in which he threw for a season-high 335 yards and four touchdowns, Fields produced a similarly impressive performance that saw the connection between him and top wideout DJ Moore in elite form. Eight of Fields' completions and 230 of his passing yards were achieved in conjunction with Moore, who also hauled in touchdown passes of 20, 11 and 56 yards. Fields hit tight end Cole Kmet from four yards out for a four-yard scoring toss just before halftime as well, leaving him just six touchdown passes short of the 17 he threw last season over 15 games. Fields' rushing total was also his second highest of the campaign, affording him plenty of momentum for what could be another busy day for him and his pass catchers against the Vikings in a Week 6 home matchup Sunday, Oct. 15.

Fields completed 28 of 35 passes for 335 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in the Bears' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 25 yards and lost a fumble returned for a score.
EDGE Analysis
Fields had the Bears offense clicking on all cylinders during a first half that culminated with Chicago holding a 21-7 lead. Those first two quarters included a nifty 29-yard touchdown throw to DJ Moore on which the receiver made an excellent catch along the right sideline in the end zone, along with 22- and three-yard scoring tosses to Cole Kmet on which Fields used his mobility to buy time. The talented signal-caller's final touchdown -- and the Bears' final points -- would come on a two-yard pass to Khalil Herbert with 4:11 remaining in the third quarter, as Chicago subsequently punted once, had a Fields' fumble returned for a game-tying touchdown and saw the quarterback toss a game-ending interception at the Broncos' 36-yard line. Despite the unfavorable outcome, Fields' breakout may serve as a launchpad after a relatively quiet first three games of the season, and he and the Bears will have a chance to try and wash away the bad taste from Sunday's loss when they face the Commanders on the road on Thursday night in Week 5.

Fields completed 11 of 22 pass attempts for 99 yards, a touchdown and an interception to go along with 11 carries for 47 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Fields' disappointing start to the season worsened after he failed to break the century mark in passing yards despite playing every offensive snap Sunday. All the blame can't be placed on the third-year starter, as his offensive line looked outmatched, and his top wideout DJ Moore dropped the only accurate deep ball thrown all game. The silver lining for Fields was his even TD:INT ratio against Kansas City after turning the ball over six times in his previous two starts. Fields' next chance to salvage his depleted fantasy value comes in a matchup between winless teams when Chicago hosts Denver next Sunday.

Fields completed 16 of 29 passes for 211 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions while rushing four times for three yards and another score in the Bears' 27-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, recovering one and seeing the other scooped up by center Lucas Patrick.
EDGE Analysis
Fields put together his second straight lackluster performance to open the season, although his two scores Sunday partly made up for the pair of picks and relatively modest passing yardage tally. The mobile signal-caller also was under constant pressure, taking six sacks and four additional hits on the afternoon. Fields and DJ Moore continued to demonstrate solid chemistry, as the offseason acquisition finished with a 6-104-0 line on seven targets. However, about the only other highlight for members of Chicago's air attack was Chase Claypool's 20-yard scoring grab just past the midway point of the fourth quarter. Fields and the Bears will once again try for their first win of the season in a tough Week 3 road matchup against the Chiefs.

Fields completed 24 of 37 passes for 216 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Packers. He also rushed nine times for 59 yards and lost a fumble.
EDGE Analysis
Fields is still yet to beat the rival Packers, with his fourth-quarter interception that was returned for a touchdown effectively ending Sunday's contest. The signal caller also fumbled while attempting to run earlier in the game, continuing to struggle with ball security after committing 11 turnovers in 15 games last season. Although Fields led the Bears in rushing yards and found Darnell Mooney for a 20-yard touchdown through the air, it otherwise was a disappointing performance that indicated a lack of progress as a passer prior to Fields racking up some yards in garbage time.

Fields completed two of six passes for 51 yards and took three carries for 16 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Fields played two drives and the majority of a third, coming out of the game early after center Doug Kramer exited with an undisclosed injury and Fields took a big hit at the end of a screen pass. The quarterback didn't appear hurt, but Bears coach Matt Eberflus took him out of the game in the red zone after Fields led the team there with the help of a 40-yard catch-and-run by WR DJ Moore. The Bears are counting on big things from the Fields-Moore connection as they head into a Week 1 home game against CB Jaire Alexander and the Packers.

Coach Matt Eberflus said on Thursday that Fields and the Bears' starters will play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Bills, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The coaches will meet later and determine just how long the starters will play in the final exhibition. Fields played seven snaps in the preseason opener before getting the second one off last week. Fields went a perfect three of three passing for 129 yards and two touchdowns back in Week 1 of the preseason versus the Titans.
