Justin Fields returns from injury, to start for Chicago Bears

CHICAGO -- Rookie quarterback Justin Fields will start the Bears' season finale in Minnesota on Sunday after missing the last two games with an ankle injury, head coach Matt Nagy announced on Wednesday.

The Bears say Fields has improved enough to practice all week and their intention is to play him. He'll be the third different starting quarterback in three weeks after Nick Foles and Andy Dalton led the team to victories over the Seattle Seahawks and New York Giants, respectively.

Fields will be starting his 11th game this season.
