Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (thumb) will not play in Week 7 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday after dislocating his right thumb in the Week 6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Dallas Goedert Limited Again Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (groin) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

Alec Pierce Returns To Practice

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (shoulder) is back at practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session.

Chicago Cubs right-hander Michael Fulmer (elbow) underwent right-elbow UCL revision surgery on Thursday and is expected to miss the entire 2024 season as a result.
