Injury: right thumb
Impact: LP all week and listed as doubtful for TNF against Panthers while recovering from W6 right thumb dislocation - doubtful essentially means out and Fields' next chance to return will come in W11 against Detroit
Week 10 Opponent: Carolina Panthers
Team: Chicago Bears
Injury: Hamstring
Impact: LP, LP in practice after he was designated to return from IR - W10 likely a stretch as head coach Kevin O’Connell acknowledged - better chance to return in W11
Week 10 Opponent: New Orleans Saints
Team: Minnesota Vikings
Injury: Back
Impact: DNP Wednesday and still sore from hard landing on back in W9 win over Buffalo - our panel of docs expect him to play through in W10 against Houston - training staff can use heating pad to alleviate pain and stiffness and allow him to play effectively
Week 10 Opponent: Houston Texans
Team: Cincinnati Bengals

Week 10 Opponent: Atlanta Falcons
Team: Arizona Cardinals
Injury: Hamstring
Impact: LP Wednesday with a hamstring injury - might just be maintenance but Thursday will be a better indication - key situation to watch along with Ja'Marr Chase
Week 10 Opponent: Houston Texans
Team: Cincinnati Bengals
Injury: Ankle
