49ers' Mark Fields: Heads to Bay Area
The 49ers claimed Fields off waivers from the Texans on Wednesday.
The 49ers are adding to their secondary depth ahead of the 2021 season. Fields has appeared in five games in his two years since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent, so he'll likely need to prove his worth on special teams to earn a spot on the 49ers' 53-man roster coming out of the preseason.

Mark Fields: Waived by Texans
Fields was waived by the Texans on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Fields spent the majority of the 2020 season on the Vikings, battling a chest injury throughout his stint. However, he was released in mid-December and was almost immediately picked up by the Texans. He'll now enter free agency ahead of the new league year.

Texans' Mark Fields: Quickly signed off waivers
The Texans claimed Fields off waivers Thursday.
Fields was out of a job for less than 24 hours, as Houston pounced on the opportunity to acquire the Clemson product after the Vikings parted ways with him Wednesday. The 24-year-old will have to clear league COVID protocols before being removed from the commissioner's exempt list, but he will soon provide developmental depth to the Texans' secondary.

Mark Fields: Cut loose by Minnesota
The Vikings waived Fields on Wednesday.
Fields spent the last six weeks on IR with a chest injury before being activated Tuesday. However, the Vikings are moving on. Fields played two games with the team and recorded one solo tackle. If he clears waivers, he's a candidate to land on the practice squad.

Vikings' Mark Fields: Returns from IR
Fields (chest) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday.
In a corresponding move, the Vikings placed Kris Boyd, who has started in four of the past five games, on IR with a shoulder injury. Cameron Dantzler and Jeff Gladney are locked into starting roles; Fields will compete with Harrison Hand and Chris Jones to take over Boyd's role.

Vikings' Mark Fields: Designated to return from IR
Fields (chest) was designated to return from injured reserve Friday.
Fields has missed three consecutive games while on IR after suffering a "pinhole puncture" of his lung against the Packers in Week 8, but his return to the field could be coming soon given this designation. Fellow depth corner Chris Jones had a tough showing this past week against the Cowboys, so Fields could be in line for a bump in playing time upon his eventual return.

Vikings' Mark Fields: Placed on IR
The Vikings have placed Fields (chest) on injured reserve, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Fields sustained a "pinhole puncture" to one of his lungs in last week's victory over the Packers. The depth corner will now be sidelined at least three weeks to focus on his recovery.

Vikings' Mark Fields: Injures lung in loss
Fields suffered a "pinhole puncture" of his lung during Sunday's 28-22 win over the Packers, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Fields sustained the injury while tackling Packers receiver Equanimeous St. Brown and didn't retake the field Sunday. The Vikings anticipate Fields, who was promoted from the practice squad earlier this week, playing again in November, but it seems like the depth cornerback's status for Week 9 is in jeopardy.

Vikings' Mark Fields: Leaves game with injury
Fields suffered an undisclosed injury during Sunday's win over the Packers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Fields was promoted from the practice squad earlier this week due to multiple injuries in the secondary, and his role expanded once Cameron Dantzler (neck/concussion) left Sunday's game. However, Fields picked up an injury while tackling Equanimeous St. Brown and didn't return to the game. Kris Boyd (knee) also exited, so Harrison Hand and Jeff Gladney were the only healthy Vikings cornerbacks when the game ended. The Vikings host Detroit in Week 9.

Vikings' Mark Fields: Called up once again
Fields was promoted from the Vikings' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Fields joined the Vikings' 53-man roster prior to the team's Week 3 matchup against Tennessee, but he only garnered two special-teams snaps throughout the course of that contest. With George Iloka (knee-ACL) having landed on injured reserve last Thursday, plus Mike Hughes (neck), Holton Hill (foot) and Kris Boyd (hamstring) all dealing with issues, Fields may eventually be utilized as a depth option in the secondary.

Vikings' Mark Fields: Gets the call
The Vikings elevated Fields to the 53-man roster from the practice squad Sunday.
With the Vikings set to be without both Mike Hughes (neck) and Cameron Dantzler (ribs), they elected to stay in-house with the promotion of Fields. The 23-year-old suited up in one game for the Vikings last season, seeing just eight total snaps, so he'll likely be in line for a similar role for Week 3.

Mark Fields: Cut by Vikings
The Vikings waived Fields (groin) on Saturday.
Despite the Vikings' lack of depth at corner, they decided to cut Fields and add linebacker Devante Downs. It's interesting that Fields was waived and not waived/injured, as he tended to a groin injury in practice this week. If he clears waivers, he'll be free to sign elsewhere right away.

Vikings' Mark Fields: Traded to Vikings
Fields was traded to Minnesota from Kansas City in exchange for an undisclosed draft pick, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
The undrafted free agent will add needed depth in the Vikings secondary with Holton Hill suspended and Mike Hughes coming back from a torn ACL. The Vikings had considered signing Fields after the draft and he was seen as having a strong preseason.

Chiefs' Mark Fields: Joining Kansas City
Fields signed a contract with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent, Phil Orban of WSOC-TV Charlotte reports.
Fields didn't produce much in his career for Clemson, racking up 45 tackles, one sack, an interception and 13 pass breakups in 48 games in his career. He likely will face an uphill battle for a roster spot with a full depth chart at the cornerback position.
