Justin Fields injury: Bears offensive line makes a bad day even worse for young QB

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields was taken to the locker room after he was sacked by the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings, who rushed just three defenders on the play, were somehow able to get home on a botched pass blocking scheme by the Bears offensive line.

Fields could be forced to miss some time, but in the meantime he will be taken to the locker room for testing. His backup is rookie Tyson Bagent.

Fields was shaking his hand as he left the game. Considering the Bears are 1-4 on the year and struggling in their Week 6 game against the Vikings, there's no real rush to bring Fields back in the game, especially if it runs the risk of impacting him long term.

UPDATE: Justin Fields was ruled out.
