Bears’ Injury Report Blues: Injury Report Update Deals Bears a Significant Blow
When the Chicago Bears traded away Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason, General Manager Ryan Poles was hoping that Fields would win the starting job and take over as the Steelers’ primary quarterback. This is because the conditions of the trade were as follows, ” The Steelers sent a 2025 sixth-round pick to the Bears that converts to a fourth-round selection if Fields plays 51% of snaps this season“. Unfortunately, Fields has already been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, which means the Bears will likely get a sixth-round pick instead of the fourth-rounder.
Will Poles be around to make this pick? If he is, will he trade the pick for another journeyman offensive lineman? Either way, it seems like Poles overestimated the potential of Fields, especially if better offers were on the table.
