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.
What It Means:
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.
