According to NFL Network, Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is expected to make his return and play against the Detroit Lions this week.
This news doesn’t come as much of a surprise, as Lions coach Dan Campbell said on the radio Tuesday morning that he expected Fields to be the starting quarterback this week.
“We’ve got to be ready. I think the quarterback will be back,” Campbell said. “So we’ve got our hands, full, man. We’ve got to put it together here.”
Fields has missed the last four games with a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand.
