The Chicago Bears suffered two huge losses on Sunday: one in terms of points scored and the more worrying loss of their main quarterback.
Justin Fields, the Bears’ starting quarterback, missed Sunday’s 19-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings due to a throwing hand injury.
Fields’ right-hand X-rays came back negative, according to Bears head coach Matt Eberflus, and the quarterback will get an MRI on Monday.
Fields was cradling his hand as he walked to the locker room in the third quarter following a sack. Fields was swiftly declared out after being given the initial status of questionable to return, leaving the Chicago fans in suspense over the extent of his injury.

Fields, who had combined to throw for eight touchdowns over the previous two games, had only 58 yards in the air on 6-of-10 passing on Sunday. He had a team-high 46 rushing yards on just eight carries, no touchdowns, an interception, and no touchdowns.
