Inactive Sunday, as expected Fields (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game at the Jets.

Impact When Fields was seen wincing and grabbing at his left, non-throwing shoulder near the end of last Sunday's loss in Atlanta, the table was set for the biggest fantasy question mark of Week 12 considering his production over the last six games (963 yards and 10 TDs through the air, 640 yards and six more TDs on the ground). On Wednesday, he revealed the extent of his injury, saying he was tending to a separated shoulder with partially torn ligaments. He still managed limited practices all week, and his availability came down to a game-time decision. Ultimately, though, the Bears will exercise caution and give Fields the week off, allowing Trevor Siemian to direct the offense and practice-squad call-up Nathan Peterman to serve as his backup. Fields will turn his attention to getting healthy enough to play Sunday, Dec. 4 versus the Packers.

Not likely to play in Week 12 Fields (shoulder), who is listed as questionable, will get a chance to warm up before Sunday's game at the Jets, but he doesn't seem likely to be available, Ian Rapoport of NFL Net...

Impact Adam Schefter of ESPN backed up Rapoport's assessment, which will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming Fields doesn't gain clearance to play through the separated shoulder with partially torn ligaments that he sustained in his non-throwing arm near the end of last Sunday's loss in Atlanta, the Bears will turn to Trevor Siemian under center, with the recently elevated Nathan Peterman backing him up. In that scenario, Fields' next chance to suit up will arrive Dec. 4 against the Packers.

Status in question The Bears elevated third-string quarterback Nathan Peterman on Saturday, which would seem to signal Fields' (shoulder) eventual absence ahead of the Week 12 matchup, Mike Garafolo...

Impact It's important to note the Bears did not rule out Fields as of now, but NFL teams typically do not carry three active quarterbacks on the gameday roster, so this elevation is especially noteworthy. The dynamic dual-threat quarterback was a limited participant in practice all week, but should he eventually be ruled inactive ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Trevor Siemian would likely get the start.

Impact The Bears listed Fields as a limited practice participant for the third straight day Friday, and Eberflus' comments afterward suggest the quarterback is truly questionable and should be viewed as a game-time decision ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. The signal-caller's running could be scaled back somewhat if he ends up playing, as Fields acknowledged Wednesday that he's feeling significant pain from the separation and partial ligament tear in his non-throwing shoulder. Trevor Siemian will get the start if Fields doesn't this Sunday.
