Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields returned to practice for the first time since dislocating his right thumb on Oct. 15. Fields is doubtful to play against the New Orleans Saints and wore a glove over his right hand to help him grip the football. His ability to grip the football is paramount for his return, which he says is not at full strength. The Bears have not committed to a timeline for his return.
