We all know the Bears QB1 Justin Fields but do you know who the backup quarterback is? Get to know backup Trevor Siemian
Justin Fields got banged up during Sunday's Bears-Falcons game.
He was sacked four times and took numerous hits on the field rushing the ball, including a dangerous one to the head while he was sliding.
Fields received treatment for his legs on the field during the game. He was provided assisted stretching and thera-gun treatment for cramps he experienced in his hamstrings. Fields was given an IV after the game for the same issue.
According to the second-year quarterback, he also injured his shoulder on the first play of the final drive. He was carted off the field at the end of the game for a medical examination.
Expect to hear more on Fields' health this week. For now, in case of emergency, the Bears have quarterback Trevor Siemian in their arsenal if necessary.
