Bears QB Justin Fields has dislocated thumb and is doubtful to play against Raiders
Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will likely miss at least one game because of a dislocated right thumbOCTOBER 16, 2023ā¢ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brandon Powell - Three receptions in expanded rolePowell had three receptions for 20 yards on four targets and lost a yard on a carry in Sunday's 19-13 win at Chicago. He also returned three punts for an average of 10.7 yards.
ImpactPowell played on a season-high 32 snaps on offense (58 percent of the offense's snaps) as he moved into a third-receiver role with Justin Jefferson on injured reserve. He failed to connect on a key third-down pass from Kirk Cousins that would have been a difficult catch but showed he has Cousins' trust.

Nate Davis - Dealing with high ankle sprainDavis sustained a high right ankle sprain during Sunday's 19-13 loss versus Minnesota and is out for Week 7, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
ImpactDavis avoided a fracture when he injured his ankle in Week 6, but he'll likely have to miss multiple games anyhow. In Davis' stead, 2022 seventh-rounder Ja'Tyre Carter figures to fill in at right guard.

Justin Fields - Doubtful for Week 7Coach Matt Eberflus confirmed Monday that Fields suffered a dislocated right thumb in Sunday's loss to the Vikings and is "doubtful" for Week 7 against the Raiders, Kevin Fishbain...
ImpactEberflus noted that it's all going to come down to "grip strength" when discussing Fields' timetable. Undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent won the Bears' QB2 job after a surprising preseason and came in in relief of Fields on Sunday. Bagent lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown on his very first snap and finished 10-for-14 passing for 83 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. Chicago also could opt to start veteran Nathan Peterman versus Las Vegas.

Greg Joseph - Tough day in ugly winJoseph made two of his three field-goal attempts and one of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 19-13 win at Chicago.
ImpactJoseph failed to convert on both an extra-point try and a field-goal attempt for the first time this season in Week 6. In his defense, the former kick was blocked and the latter was a 57-yarder on a cool fall day in the Windy City. Even still, Minnesota's offense looked strained without Justin Jefferson (IR-hamstring) and will draw a brutal matchup versus San Francisco's defense in Week 7.
