The recent injury news on Justin Fields is…confusing. One look at the official diagnosis (separated shoulder with partially torn ligaments) is enough to make anybody’s shoulder ache. So common sense would point to Fields getting some time off to rest up.
Yet, there remains a chance the Bears trot Fields out against the Jets for their Sunday matchup. This begs the question; if Fields is as banged up as the injury reports state, should he be playing even if cleared?
Of course, if Fields is 100% healthy, he should play; just like if he is definitely injured, he should not play.
