Tony Fields II - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Moved to IR The Bears placed Fields (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday.

Impact Fields is set to be the primary backup edge rusher for the Bears in 2026. The linebacker signed with the Bears in June after taking the 2025 season off from the NFL. Fields will now need to wait at least another four regular-season weeks to return to live NFL turf, as he will need to spend at least that much time on IR before returning to the active roster.

Works out with Ravens Baltimore hosted Fields (ankle) for a workout Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Fields landed on Cleveland's injured reserve Sept. 11 due to an ankle injury. He was cut from the Browns' IR on Tuesday, but it appears he's healed enough to get a look from Baltimore. The 2021 fifth-round pick played in all 17 regular-season games for the Browns in 2023, during which he logged 34 tackles (16 solo) and returned a fumble for a touchdown while splitting snaps between defense and special teams.

However, the West Virginia product will now head to IR, guaranteeing an absence of at least four games. Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com relays though that according to head coach Kevin Stefanski, Fields should return before the end of the season.

Practices in full Tuesday Fields (foot) returned to practice as a full participant in Tuesday's session, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Fields has been limited in practice due to a foot injury, and he has not suited up for either of Cleveland's two preseason contests. The 2021 fifth-round linebacker has split his snaps between defense and special teams over the last two seasons, and he figures to serve in a similar for the Browns in 2024.

Working on the side Fields was seen wearing a walking boot Thursday, due to an apparent foot injury, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Fields was still seen working on the side, according to Oyefusi. It's not clear when or how the West Virginia product suffered the injury, or how long he'll be limited by it. The 25-year-old has played a depth role while contributing on special teams for Cleveland in each of the last three seasons.

Amasses game-high nine tackles Fields recorded nine tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Commanders.

Impact With five Cleveland linebackers currently on injured reserve, Fields has benefitted with more playing time down the regular season stretch. The second-year pro has now compiled 19 stops across the last two games, and he'll look to finish the campaign on a high note when the Browns travel to Pittsburgh in Week 18.

Sets another career high in loss Fields recorded 10 tackles (six solo) in Saturday's 17-10 loss to the Saints.

Impact For the second consecutive game, Fields set a new career high (10) in the tackling department, after he amassed a career-high six stops versus Baltimore the week prior. The second-year pro has benefitted from the absences of fellow linebackers Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (foot), Jacob Phillips (pectoral), Anthony Walker (quadriceps) and Sione Takitaki (knee) over the last few weeks, and Fields should continue to do so when the Browns square off against Washington on New Year's Day.

Sets new career high Fields recorded six tackles (four solo) during Saturday's 13-3 win over the Ravens.

Impact Fields continued operating in his usual rotational linebacker role this past weekend versus Baltimore, except he logged a career-high six stops in the contest. The 23-year-old will now hope to replicate a similar performance when Cleveland hosts the Saints in Week 16.

Pick six Sunday Fields recorded four tackles (three solo), a forced fumble and an interception returned for a touchdown in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Texans.

Impact Fields logged one of the Browns' two defensive touchdowns against Houston, picking off Kyle Allen for a 16-yard return in the fourth quarter. The second-year linebacker also forced a fumble that led to a four-yard scoop-and-score touchdown by cornerback Denzel early in the third quarter. Fields' 30 defensive snaps marked the most significant playing time of his career, and he'll likely be on tap for increased usage moving forward after starting linebacker Sione Takitaki suffered a torn ACL on Sunday.
