Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields just led his team to a second consecutive victory Sunday over the Raiders in Las Vegas.
Anointed the starter for the rest of the season over Andy Dalton ahead of the game, Fields played pretty good football. He completed 12-of-20 passes for 111 yards with his first NFL touchdown pass and zero interceptions.
While it was not an eye-opening performance from the Ohio State product, it was good enough to rely on a stingy defense as Chicago moved to 3-2 on the season.
One day later, and we’re hearing some information regarding an injury Fields suffered in the first half of the game.
According to NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero, Fields suffered a hyper-extended left knee in the second quarter. It forced the rookie to miss just two plays. The report notes that Fields should be good to go next Sunday against the division-rival Green Bay Packers.
Any time we’re talking about a knee and an NFL player, there’s always some reason for caution. But it must be noted that the injury didn’t seem to slow Fields down any. In fact, Chicago went on a 16-play, 86-yard touchdown-scoring drive after he was injured.
