Justin Fields (right thumb) doubtful for Bears versus Panthers
Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (thumb) is doubtful for Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night.
Fields was listed as limited on the practice report all week, so he seems to have a strong chance of returning in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions. Tyson Bagent will make another start on Thursday night in what should be a low-scoring affair.
Per numberFire's NFL Heat Map, the game total (38.5) is tied for third-lowest in Week 10. The Panthers' pass defense ranks 20th in our opponent-adjusted NEP model for the season. Among the 40 quarterbacks with at least 50 dropbacks this season, Fields ranks 33rd and Bagent is 35th in Passing NEP per attempt.
