LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Justin Fields thought he had a chance to play last Sunday against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. The Bears' second-year quarterback went through pregame tests in New Jersey and ultimately decided he wasn't healthy enough to play with his separated left shoulder.
On Wednesday, as the Bears began preparation for their Week 13 game vs. the Green Bay Packers, Fields said his left shoulder is improving.
"Just feeling better each and every day," Fields said.
The 23-year-old quarterback was limited during Wednesday's practice, where he took some first-team reps. Third-string quarterback Nathan Peterman took the remainder of the first-team reps, with Trevor Siemian sidelined with an oblique injury.
