Bears rule out Justin Fields for season finale against the Vikings with a hip strain. Nathan Peterman to start at quarterback.
"He's not going to be at full speed this week, and the medical staff has ruled him out for this week. This is not a long-term injury," Eberflus said."He's just not able to go full-speed, and asked him how it was today. He said it's still real sore."
"You're always preparing to be the starter, and they said, 'Hey, we're going to go with you,' and I'm just ready to go," he said. "Extremely confident. You know, I'm excited. It's been a little bit. Just be ready to get out there with the guys, and play some football, have some fun," he said. With Fields out, the Bears could be even better positioned to get the top pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. If the Bears lose to the Vikings and the Texans beat the Colts, the Bears would move from the No. 2 pick to the No. 1 pick in the draft.
