Justin Fields is doubtful (???) to play against the Panthers (full episode) Nov 09, 2023

Show notes

It's game day! The Bears take on the Panthers on Thursday Night Football, and we're ... uh ... pretty sure Justin Fields will miss another start? David Haugh and Dan Wiederer hear from Matt Eberflus, who told reporters Fields is doubtful for the game and that Tyson Bagent will start. But Eberflus also indicated that Fields could try to give it a go Thursday. So he's not playing ... but he might play? We think? Got it? OK, we're confused too. Assuming Fields is out and Tyson Bagent gets his fourth NFL start, the guys wonder how fairly Bagent has been evaluated so far. The quarterback discussions in Chicago have gotten way off the rails in the last two years. Also, Dan got and answer for David about why DJ Moore wasn't on the field for a key play in the Bears' loss to the Saints last Sunday. #JustinFields #TysonBagent #Bears #NFL

Meanwhile, Justin Fields could return against the Panthers on Thursday Night Football. Fields is "day-to-day" now, and Matt Eberflus indicated Fields will start if he's medically cleared.
