The Bears are expected to be without QB Justin Fields and RB Khalil Herbert

Related Players: D'Onta Foreman, Roschon Johnson, Darrynton Evans

Foreman handled the load last week, turning 20 rushes into a workman-like 83 yards. We should expect more of that usage Thursday night, though the offense as a whole has a capped ceiling with Tyson Bagent at the helm. Foreman is in FLEX consideration for Week 10.

The Bears are expected to be without QB Justin Fields and RB Khalil Herbert tonight

Tyson Bagent will notch his fourth start of the season and looks to bounce back from two iffy performances. He has eight turnover-worthy plays over these last two weeks, that have led to five interceptions. The Panthers defense should be in consideration for Thursday night's game.

Bears QB Justin Fields (right thumb) is doubtful for Thursday night vs. the Panthers. Another week of Tyson Bagent.

Bagent has performed well enough as the starter but remains off of fantasy radars. He has thrown five interceptions over these previous two starts.

“[Justin Fields is] day-to-day. We’ll find out more [on Monday], and we’ll see where it is,” head coach Matt Eberflus said after Sunday’s loss to the Saints. “He’s started throwing, which is a positive, and we’ll see where it is in terms of his functionality.”

Fields has not played since injuring his thumb against the Vikings in Week 6. He returned to practice late last week, illustrating he’s getting closer to a return. But with the Bears on another short week as they play the Panthers on Thursday, there’s no guarantee Fields will be back for Week 10, the story went on to say.

A step in the right direction: Bears QB Justin Fields was a limited participant today, his first day back on the practice field since his injury. He's listed as doubtful, but the Bears play on Thursday against the Panthers.

The Bagest experience has soured quickly, after he finished Week 7 with a 2.5 aDOT and followed that with two interceptions the next week. Hold off on Chicago fantasy pieces until next week, where possible.

Tyson Bagent remains the QB for the game against the Saints.

Rapoport went on to say that Bears coach Matt Eberflus told reporters Fields remains week-to-week. It sounds like Fields may be able to practice at some point this week, which would be progress, but it's all to be determined, according to Rapoport's post.

Bears coach Matt Eberflus says "Tyson Bagent will be our starter." Calls Justin Fields doubtful for Sunday night's game at Chargers.

Bagent led the Bears to a win over the Raiders in what was a battle of backup QBs. Bagent was 21-of-29 but for just 162 yards, however he did have a 97.2 QB rating. He added a TD pass and wasn't intercepted, he even ran three times for 24 yards. The Chargers will likely be a harder task in Week 8. For now, Bagent is more of a deeper league, superflex option but it looks like he'll start Week 8 at least as Fields recovers from a thumb injury.

Bears quarterback Justin Fields has a chance to return to action in Week 8.

Fields will miss Sunday’s game against the Raiders with a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand. The Bears have not placed him on injured reserve. He is reportedly already regaining grip strength. There is a chance he could play Week 8 against the Chargers. For Week 7 against the Raiders, it will be rookie free agent Tyson Bagent getting the start.

Matt Eberflus says QB Justin Fields won't practice today.

"Again, we still think he's doubtful for this week."

Tyson Bagent would start week 7 if Fields cannot.

Bagent, a UDFA out of DII Shepherd, could be in for a tough time against the Raiders defense. He should be avoided, along with most of the Bears offense, in Week 7.
