Justin Fields Limited, Trevor Siemian Misses Practice
2 years agoChicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, while Trevor Siemian (oblique) did not practice. Head coach Matt Eberflus said both quarterbacks are "day-to-day." As insurance, the Bears signed quarterback Tim Boyle off the Detroit Lions' practice squad. Boyle has experience with offensive coordinator Luke Getsy from their time with the Green Bay Packers. Fields missed the Week 12 loss to the New York Jets and is questionable to play against the Packers this Sunday, but a limited practice early in the week is a good sign. Still, with Chicago out of playoff contention, the Bears aren't going to rush Fields back onto the field until he's fully healthy. The 23-year-old dual-threat signal-caller had become a must-start QB1 before his injury. If he misses another game and Siemian can't go either, it will be either Nathan Peterman or Boyle getting the starting nod.
