Justin Fields is on the road to recovery, and his girlfriend is right there with him.
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus provided an update on quarterback Justin Fields’ progress in rehabbing his injured thumb, emphasizing that it will take some time before Fields can return to the field.
“He continues to work with the trainers. He’s doing everything he can to progress, and it is progressing. He remains week-to-week,” Eberflus stated.
Fields spent quality time with his girlfriend this week, Gianna Carmona, enjoying picturesque moments together.

When Justin returns from injury, his spot as starting QB for the Bears should be safe.
However, whispers of a potential quarterback controversy are circulating, as Tyson Bagent demonstrated his ability to secure a win last week.
Tyson Bagent is set to make his second consecutive start on Sunday night against the Chargers. In the previous game against the Raiders, Bagent played efficiently, if not spectacularly, and his mistake-free football, combined with the Bears’ strong defense, was sufficient for a 30-12 victory.

Bagent primarily stuck to safe, short passes, but Eberflus mentioned that the Bears aim to expand their offensive game and believe they can do so with Bagent.
Against the Chargers this week, the Bears might require more from Bagent. As an undrafted rookie, Bagent has already exceeded expectations, but maintaining success while Fields is sidelined will be a challenging task.
If Bagent secures another victory, it could trigger a quarterback controversy.
In the meantime, Justin Fields and his girlfriend can relish their time together as he recovers.
