NFC Notes: Justin Fields, Bears, Eagles, Vikings

Bears

Bears QB Justin Fields suffered a shoulder injury on Sunday. After the game, HC Matt Eberflus told reporters that they don’t know the extent of the injury right now.

โ€œWe will have an update on Wednesday,โ€ Eberflus said, via Courtney Cronin of ESPN. โ€œWe donโ€™t know what exactly it is. Thatโ€™s why we are going to take a look at it.โ€

Fields said the pain he felt was “pretty bad” but they take things one day at a time. 

โ€œThe pain right now is pretty bad,โ€ Fields said. โ€œIโ€™ll just take it day by day and see how it feels later in the week.โ€

โ€œI was hurting but it was the last drive of the game,โ€ Fields said. โ€œI was just trying to be there for my teammates and fight through the pain.โ€

Eagles

  • NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero reports the Eagles worked out Calgary Stampeders OL Julian Good-Jones, who was in training camp with the team back in 2020.

Vikings

  • According to NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero, Vikings WR Justin Jefferson is dealing with a mild case of turf toe that limited him in practice this week and will need to be managed going forward. However, it’s not expected to keep him from playing: “I mean, I’m playing, so… It don’t really hurt. I just tried to make sure I wasn’t overly doing it or overly stressing it out (in practice). But nothing major.”
  • Vikings OT Christian Darrisaw is being evaluated for a concussion after being taken out of the game on Sunday and was later ruled out.
