Bears give workout to linebacker Tony Fields II from UFL

The Chicago Bears are conducting workouts for former Cleveland Browns linebacker Tony Fields II, who recently played for the Columbus Aviators in the now-concluded United Football League season. Fields had a successful 2026 season, ranking second in the UFL with 77 total tackles and earning selection to the All-UFL Team. Following the end of the UFL season, all player contracts became void, allowing them to seek opportunities in the NFL. Fields initially entered the NFL as a fifth-round draft pick by the Browns in 2021 and has since transitioned to more playing time on defense, having played 236 defensive reps in 2023 before injuries affected his career.
