Cook County registered a record number of opioid-related deaths in 2020, according to the medical examiner, which found many cases originated from Chicago’s West Side. Although so far this year the city’s opioid deaths have decreased compared with this point in time in 2020, the share that stems from fentanyl use continues climbing. About 88% of all fatal opioid overdoses in Chicago this year are related to fentanyl, according to the medical examiner, compared with 83% in all of 2020 and 74% in 2019.

“That’s a tough spot for Tev,” Fields said. “I know he wanted to play great today. The sack he gave up, I just told him, ‘Look, it’s your first game. Prime time, Sunday night. You’re a rookie, first-ever playing time right now. Of course you’re going to make mistakes. You have to go in there knowing you’re going to make mistakes and just learn from them and make sure they don’t happen again.’

The Packers marched 75 yards in nine plays to open the second half, taking the lead for good on Aaron Jones’ 3-yard touchdown run. The Packers didn’t face a single third down on that series. A minute later, Jones was in the end zone again, this time on a 23-yard pass from Aaron Rodgers. Sandwiched in between was a Preston Smith strip-sack of Fields from the blind side.

“We’ve got a lot of guys sitting home with no symptoms right now,” Donovan said. “That’s obviously a good thing, too, because I think when guys have gone through a little difficulty of getting really, really sick, it’s really made it a lot harder for them coming back. So we do have some guys that have felt under the weather, we have some guys that have very, very mild symptoms and some guys who just don’t have any.”
