The Chicago Bears suffered two significant losses on Sunday - one on the scoreboard and the other a worrying injury to their starting quarterback. 

Quarterback Justin Fields sustained a hand injury during the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, leading to his early exit from the game. 

Coach Matt Eberflus provided some relief by announcing that X-rays on Fields' hand revealed no significant damage; however, an MRI is scheduled for Monday. 

Fields' injury occurred when he was sacked by the Vikings' Danielle Hunter, causing an awkward landing on his throwing hand during a third-quarter play. 

Following Fields' departure, rookie Tyson Bagent took over at quarterback, albeit with mixed results, including a touchdown and an interception. 

Bagent's debut was marred by a strip-sack by Vikings safety Josh Metellus, leading to a touchdown return by linebacker Jordan Hicks, highlighting the challenges faced by the Bears on a difficult day.
