Bears' Justin Fields Says He's 'Fine' After Precautionary X-Rays on Hand Injury

There wasn't much good news for the Chicago Bears during Sunday's 26-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns, but they at least got some after the game.

Quarterback Justin Fields told reporters his right throwing hand is "fine" after undergoing precautionary X-rays. He was sacked nine times in his first career start, as Chicago's offensive line was essentially invisible.

The Bears will hope to avoid any long-term injuries to the 22-year-old as he develops into a potential franchise quarterback. The Ohio State product was selected No. 11 overall in the 2021 NFL draft after a college career that saw him earn Heisman Trophy votes in each of the past two years.
