A video surfaced Thursday of Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields taking a cheap shot to the knee from an Indianapolis Colts defender during Wednesday’s practice.
The Colts and Bears held their first or two joint practices Wednesday. The second practice will be held Thursday evening.
Joint practices between NFL teams can turn ugly. A fight between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets broke out Wednesday, placing a Jets assistant coach in the hospital. The Jets bailed on practicing with the Buccaneers Thursday, and Tampa Bay had to work out at the New York Giants facility.

Bears beat reporters Tweeted about Fields taking hits from Colts defenders. According to Nicholas Moreano with CHGO Sports, Bears offensive guard Teven Jenkins stood up for his quarterback Wednesday.
Justin Fields hit Velus Jones Jr. deep down the left sideline for a big gain. Fields ended up on the ground after the play. Bears and Colts ended up meeting in the middle of the field after Dayo Odeyingbo and Teven Jenkins started talking to each other.

A video released from Swift Sports Network on Twitter showed Fields taking a hit. Their take is that nothing “malicious” went on with the hit.
In my personal opinion, physical football in August doesn’t include a helmet on the quarterback’s knees.
This was one of the hits on Justin Fields
