Bears ‘need more time’ to determine if Justin Fields can play Sunday

The Chicago Bears were back at Halas Hall today for a modified practice that focused on individual drills, and starting quarterback Justin Fields was on the field. However, head coach Matt Eberflus was not ready to give an update on Fields' thumb injury that has kept him sidelined for the last four games.

"We just need more time," Eberflus said earlier today at his press conference. "We need team work (at practice), we need that, and we'll eventually get there. We're just not there right now."

He did say that Fields looked good throwing the ball today but wouldn't clarify if he has been medically cleared.
