At some point in the Chicago Bears last game against the Baltimore Ravens they lost starting quarterback Justin Fields with a rib injury. The x-rays were negative, so the initial diagnosis was bruised ribs. He was also checked out for a possible spleen injury, but it appears everything is fine with that. However further tests have revealed that Fields has a “few cracked ribs” per a report from the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
He Tweeted @RapSheet that his sources have told him that the “x-ray and CT scans were clean, but the MRI showed the additional issues,” to Fields’ ribs.
