Bears quarterback Justin Fields runs against the Lions on Sunday.

Bears quarterback Justin Fields will miss Sunday’s season finale with a hip strain, head coach Matt Eberflus said.

Eberflus said he came to Halas Hall on Monday complaining of pain. Doctors did not clear him to play in the game, Eberflus said.

Quarterback Nathan Peterman will start.

The Bears, of course, can gain from losing Sunday. They would get the first overall pick in the draft if they lose to the Vikings on Sunday — and the Texans beat the Colts.
