After being knocked around on Sunday in Detroit to the tune of seven sacks taken, Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields has a hip strain that will not allow him to play in the season finale against the Minnesota Vikings.
Head coach Matt Eberflus said Fields was sore on Monday, so they got an MRI that showed the strain, and he also added that “this is not a long-term injury.”
The Bears being in play for the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft may have something to do with this, but Eberflus said that even if this were a playoff game, the team would have sat Fields because he isn’t able to move full speed.
