Justin Fields receives update to injury status ahead of Week 12

Justin Fields is a little banged up. The Chicago Bears and former Ohio State quarterback is dealing with a shoulder injury he suffered against the Atlanta Falcons. The injury occurred in the final moments of the Bears’ 27-24 loss.

The Bears plan to limit Fields in walk-throughs. Head coach Matt Eberflus is considering him day-to-day as of Wednesday.

The second-year QB has completed 136 of his 228 passes (59.6%) for 1,642 yards and 13 touchdowns to 8 interceptions this season. Fields’ turnover mark is tied for 27th in the NFL. Furthermore, he has yet to throw for more than 208 yards this season.

Overall, the Bears are having a tough season with Fields under center. Chicago has lost four straight games and seven of their last eight. The Bears travel to face the Jets on Sunday.

It could be an opportunity for Chicago to get a rare win after New York’s dramatic fourth-quarter defeat to the Patriots. The Jets also just recently announced they are benching starting quarterback Zach Wilson.

Fields is hoping to turn around his fortunes after a great career at Ohio State. He threw for 5,701 yards and 67 touchdowns to 9 interceptions in two seasons in Columbus.
