Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will likely miss at least one game because of a dislocated right thumb. Coach Matt Eberflus says it's “doubtful” Fields plays this week when the Bears host the Las Vegas Raiders after he was injured in Sunday’s 19-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Rookie Tyson Bagent figures to start in his place.

He gave similar answers when asked if the MRI showed any structural damage and if Fields would need surgery. The injury adds another wrinkle to the Bears’ long-term decision when it comes to the quarterback position. Fields struggled through the first three games, then delivered two of his best performances as a passer before a rough outing against the Vikings. He completed 6 of 10 pass for 58 yards with an interception and was sacked four times. Bagent was 10 of 14 passes for 83 yards with an interception in his debut.
