Justin Fields will not play in the Bears’ season finale against the Vikings on Sunday due to a hip injury he suffered during Chicago’s 41–10 loss to the Lions on New Year’s Day.
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus told reporters Wednesday that Nathan Peterman will be the Bears’ signal caller, bringing Fields’s 2022 season to an end. Following the loss on Sunday, Fields revealed in the news conference that he suffered the hip injury in the first half on a “roll-out play.”
“I kind of got tackled weird too where my hip kind of got twisted up, so I felt fine afterwards, just got it stretched out and worked on a little bit,” Fields said after the game.
