Chase Claypool will miss his second straight game this week after the Chicago Bears told him to stay home in the wake of critical comments late last week about the way the team has used him.
Matt Eberflus said that the decision to deactivate Claypool wasn\'t a direct reaction to those comments, but they played a role.
Justin Fields said Tuesday that he spoke to the wide receiver and that Claypool \"definitely would\" take the comments back if he could.
\"I think he knows that he kind of messed up by saying that, but I wish him nothing but the best,\" Fields said. \"He\'s a talented player, and he\'s a great person, has a good heart and works really hard. Definitely going to be staying in touch with him regardless of what happens.\"
