Episode notes
Purdy Likely Out Short-Term
- Brock Purdy likely missed the immediate week and fits a 1–3 week recovery window based on prior reports and play-through history.
- Expect him to miss at least one game and possibly return the following week if recovery goes well.
Concussion Clearance Isn't The Only Factor
- Concussions are highly individual and about a 50/50 chance statistically to play the following week.
- Justin Fields' newness to the system and missed practice reps may tilt the Bears toward Tyrod Taylor even if Fields is medically cleared.
Prioritize Practice Reps After Concussion
- Consider practice availability and system familiarity when deciding a concussion-era starter, not just medical clearance.
- Favor the player who can take practice reps (Tyrod Taylor) if the other quarterback misses most of the week.
