The Bears said they were waiting until the end of the week to make a determination on next steps with Fields. Eberflus noted earlier in the week that the swelling in Fields' thumb had gone down, and the team remains optimistic about the quarterback's prognosis beyond Week 7. "He's improving," Eberflus said."Mobility is getting better. Swelling down. Grip strength is better. He'll be week-to-week. We'll know more on Monday."
