Bears quarterback Justin Fields looks on during warmups before a preseason game against the Colts.

NFL preseason games are mostly meaningless exercises whose main purpose is to stuff money into owners’ already stuffed pockets.

And Justin Fields should have played in the Bears’ inconsequential contest against the Colts on Saturday.

But if you were so married to the idea of Fields’ not playing Saturday, where was the outcry over his participation in the Bears’ first preseason game last week?
