LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Bears quarterback Justin Fields is not expected to need surgery for his dislocated right thumb, coach Matt Eberflus said Friday. As expected, Fields was ruled out for Sunday's game against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders (3-3). It appears that Fields, at least for now, will avoid injured reserve, Eberflus said. He’ll be week to week and we’ll know more Monday. That’s where it is right now with Justin.”Fields needs to be able to achieve specific benchmarks in his recovery before returning.
