I read a few articles calling out some fishy things happening about Fields not playing, but not sure what’s going on.

    My guess is that he’s good to play, but he doesn’t want to play against a top defense in his first game back. Expect him back in week 10 vs Carolina.

    He dislocated his thumb two and a half weeks ago. People with actual medical knowledge suggested recovery can be anywhere from 4-12 weeks depending on how badly he tore which ligaments. The only reason he isn’t on IR is because they’ve maxed out how many players they can bring back from it; and all this talk of week-to-week is likely just s smoke screen for “competitive advantage.”

    Where are you reading that there’s something “fishy” going on? I’d be curious to see what the rationale is for saying that.

      Dude I dislocated my ring finger during practice one year it got stuck in a helmet and was sticking straight up at a 90 degree angle.

      Couldn’t make a fist for a month.

      It was easier to play with a fracture in my metacarpal than it was for a few weeks after dislocating my finger.
