Justin Fields Not Being Rushed

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is "not being rushed" according to general manager Ryan Pace.

Trey Lance Trending In The Right Direction

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance (finger) is "trending in the right direction" according to general manager John Lynch.

Jamison Crowder Day To Day With Groin Injury
