The Facts: Fields will sit out today's game against the Raiders due to a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand. The good news that he is not expected to need surgery, and the team has not placed him on injured reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games.

Diehards Line: Sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero that while Fields did have as minimal damage as possible, his thumb injury considered to be a two-to-three week injury -- though one source said Fields already is regaining grip strength and shouldn't be entirely ruled out for next week against the Chargers on Oct. 29. Sources tell Rapoport and Pelissero that Fields has been in the training room around the clock and was in meetings all week helping Bagent -- another sign he intends to be back as soon as possible.
