The hope, of course, is that Fields will fix the Bears’ decadeslong problems at quarterback.

“It’s been amazing just what’s happened,” Donovan said. “Right before Christmas, I said, ‘Oh this is going to be good, we’re going to get our guys coming back.’ And then I went down and couple other guys went down and it’s like, all right, I probably misspoke that day. … A lot of our guys had to deal with this and I’m hopeful that at one point we can get really, really whole as a team.
