Justin Fields is questionable for Sunday as he’s battling a shoulder injury suffered last week, but a roster move may give an idea of whether he will play.
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports the Bears are adding quarterback Nathan Peterman to the active roster, an indication that Chicago may be leaning towards sitting Fields vs. the Jets. That would mean backup quarterback Trevor Siemian could get the start, with Peterman serving as the backup.
Fields suffered a dislocated left shoulder against the Falcons last Sunday, an injury that kept him limited in practice throughout the week. At 3-8 entering Sunday, the Bears may opt to play it safe with their franchise quarterback instead of risking further injury.
