I read a few articles calling out some fishy things happening about Fields not playing, but not sure what’s going on.

He dislocated his thumb two and a half weeks ago. People with actual medical knowledge suggested recovery can be anywhere from 4-12 weeks depending on how badly he tore which ligaments. The only reason he isn’t on IR is because they’ve maxed out how many players they can bring back from it; and all this talk of week-to-week is likely just s smoke screen for “competitive advantage.”

Where are you reading that there’s something “fishy” going on? I’d be curious to see what the rationale is for saying that.

Dude I dislocated my ring finger during practice one year it got stuck in a helmet and was sticking straight up at a 90 degree angle.

Couldn’t make a fist for a month.

It was easier to play with a fracture in my metacarpal than it was for a few weeks after dislocating my finger.
