Justin Fields Won\'t Play In Finale, Ending Shot At Rushing Record 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Jan 5, 2023 1:44 pm

The Chicago Bears have ruled out Justin Fields for Sunday\'s season finale against the Minnesota Vikings due to a hip injury.

Nathan Peterman will start for the Bears.

Fields ends his second professional season 64 yards shy of setting the single-season quarterback rushing record, which Lamar Jackson reached during the 2019 season (1,206 yards). 

He rushed for 132 yards on 10 attempts against the Lions, including 105 yards in the first quarter, the most by a quarterback in a quarter over the last 45 seasons.

Matt Eberflus said Wednesday that Fields complained of hip soreness Monday and was sent to get an MRI, which revealed the quarterback suffered a strain.
