Should the Bears sit Justin Fields for the final 2 games of the season? FrontOffice33 | DaBears
The Chicago Bears are riding the high that comes along with a victory week, but as is the case with all things NFL, it’s a ‘not for long’ feeling that will soon give way to planning for the New York Giants in Week 17. The most important question facing the Bears as they prepare for Big Blue is whether rookie quarterback Justin Fields, who missed Week 16’s game against the Seattle Seahawks with an ankle injury, should suit up and play.
“Justin wants to play,” head coach Matt Nagy told reporters Monday. “He’s a competitor. He wants to be there for his teammates. I think that’s what matters. And I think that’s what all of us understand. We have to be smart. We’re not going to put him at risk. And he knows that.” Bears general manager Ryan Pace certainly thinks Fields has those MVP qualities, confirming this week that he sees similarities between his quarterback and Seattle’s Russell Wilson.
It’s pretty obvious, then, that the Bears are happy with what they’ve seen from Fields this year, and with that in mind, does it make sense to continue exposing him to unnecessary punishment in a season that’s long been over?
