CHICAGO — It’s looking more likely that Justin Fields will be ready to play with a separated left shoulder Sunday against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field.
The Chicago Bears quarterback was a full participant in practice Thursday afternoon at Halas Hall, moving him a step closer to returning after missing the Week 12 loss against the New York Jets.
Fields suffered a separated shoulder and what he described as ligament damage during the closing moments of the Nov. 20 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He was limited in practice all last week and on Wednesday, when he is believed to have taken nearly all of the first-team reps inside the Walter Payton Center. The team went outside to prepare in the elements Thursday, and Fields had no restrictions.
