MAYWOOD, IL – Loyola Medicine hand surgeon Alexander Soneru, MD, is available today to discuss Chicago Bears Quarterback Justin Fields’ injury to his throwing hand.

During the Bears game Sunday, Fields dislocated his thumb, but he popped it back in and tried to finish the game.

The quarterback will undergo an MRI today.
