Bears Updates: Jaylon Johnson Says He Was Fined For Being 1 Minute Late To Practice, Justin Fields Adjusts To Difference Between College And NFL

CBS 2's Matt Zahn reported Wednesday on just how costly bad timing can be off the field, when it comes to certain members of the Bears.

Fields said it sucks to not win, but the main focus is growing and getting better. He is hopeful that pays off in the end with some more victories. At Halas Hall,
The Bears will take on the Buccaneers at 3:25 p.m. Sunday on CBS 2.
