Receives clearance to start Sunday Bears head coach Matt Nagy said Fields (ribs) has been medically cleared and will start Sunday's game at Green Bay, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports. Impact Fields missed the last two games after he suffered multiple small rib fractures in a Week 11 loss to the Ravens. Andy Dalton (hand) started for him in the interim, but now that Fields is healthy again, the rookie first-round pick will direct the Bears offense. When he faced off with the Packers back in Week 6, Fields completed 16 of 27 passes for 174 yards, one touchdown and one interception while carrying six times for 43 yards.
