Justin Fields Downgraded On Thursday

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) missed practice on Thursday after he was a limited participant on Wednesday.

Kirk Cousins Practicing In Full

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins (ribs) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday.

Adam Thielen Limited Again Thursday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) put in another day of limited practice on Thursday. Thielen has missed the last two games with a high ankle sprain, but he's made real progress this week and could be available to return for a Week 16 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams this weekend.
