Bears HC: 'Need More Time' to Evaluate Justin Fields Before QB Returns From Injury

Justin Fields' return to the Chicago Bears is still undetermined as he continues to deal with the lingering effects of a thumb injury on his throwing hand, according to head coach Matt Eberflus.

"We just need more time," Eberflus told reporters (via Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk). "We need team [drills] work, we need that and we'll eventually get there. We're just not there right now."

Fields has missed Chicago's past four games, while the Bears have gone 2-2 in that stretch.
