Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields suffered a new injury and re-aggravated an old one in a loss to the Buffalo Bills on Christmas Eve Day.
Fields suffered a separated shoulder in Week 11 against the Atlanta Falcons, which kept him sidelined for his team’s following contest against the New York Jets. The QB returned from that injury to start the next three outings, though he told ESPN’s Courtney Cronin that he hurt the shoulder again during the contest against the Bills Saturday. Fields also mentioned a new issue with his foot.
Justin Fields said he can’t put full weight on his injured foot yet but feels like he’ll be good to go. He also hurt his previously injured non-throwing shoulder earlier in the game.

“Justin Fields said he can’t put full weight on his injured foot yet but feels like he’ll be good to go,” Cronin tweeted. “He also hurt his previously injured non-throwing shoulder early in the game.”
The quarterback also spoke specifically to how his shoulder was feeling following the Bears’ 35-13 loss at Solider Field.
“They told me it was going to be a nagging injury all year,” Fields said, per Cronin’s report.
