Bears S Eddie Jackson left in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game against the Jets after hurting his left leg. He went down on a long TD play to WR Garrett Wilson. Jackson then left the field gingerly and rode a cart to the locker room. We'll watch for further details.

11:29am EST 11/27/22

Bears QB Justin Fields (shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jets. He got in 3 limited practices this week, so we’ll see if he can get cleared for Week 13. QB Trevor Siemian makes his 30th career start today. He owns a 59% completion rate and 6.6 yards-per-attempt average. Chicago figures to throw it at least a bit more with Siemian under center, but we wouldn’t consider this an upgrade for anyone on the offense.

The Bears have not yet ruled QB Justin Fields out for Sunday's game against the Jets, but multiple reports say he's not expected to play. That means it'll almost certainly be Trevor Siemian vs. Mike White in this electrifying offensive matchup. Try to look elsewhere for fantasy upside when possible.

The Bears have elevated QB Nathan Peterman from the practice squad. That'd suggest that QB Justin Fields (shoulder) won't play vs. the Jets tomorrow -- although NFL Network's Mike Garafolo tweets that the Bears "haven’t ruled Justin Fields out and could keep him in play until game time." We should get an update on the situation on Sunday morning and will get Chicago's inactives around 11:30 am ET.

The Bears have ruled S Jaquan Brisker and CB Kyler Gordon out for Sunday's game against the Jets, both with concussions. DeAndre Houston-Carson looks like the fill-in for Brisker. Kindle Vildor should be the #2 CB, joining CB Jaylon Johnson.

Bears QB Justin Fields (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. “We’ll see where it goes,” HC Matt Eberflus said Friday, adding that Fields still has work to do to be medically cleared. We should get a Fields update on Sunday morning and will have Chicago’s inactives by 11:30 am ET. Fields will carry elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he ends up playing. If not, the Bears will turn to QB Trevor Siemian.

Bears QB Justin Fields (shoulder) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We'll see what he does tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Jets.

The Bills have ruled LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin, heel) and EDGE Greg Rousseau (ankle) out for Thursday's game against the Lions. It's not surprising for either player. We've had LB Tyrel Dodson in the Week 12 IDP rankings instead of him for most of the week. Buffalo will also likely be without EDGE A.J. Epenesa (ankle), who is doubtful.

Bears QB Justin Fields told reporters on Wednesday that he's dealing with a separated left shoulder with partially torn ligaments, per ESPN's Courtney Cronin. "Basically an AC joint" injury, Fields added. He's reportedly been cleared to practice, and considering he was allowed to speak to the media, Fields seems likely to start vs. the Jets on Sunday. The question is whether the shoulder injury will limit his rushing volume and/or efficiency.

Bears QB Justin Fields (shoulder) has been cleared to practice, according to CBS' Jonathan Jones. Fields remains day-to-day, though, and is still uncertain for Sunday's game vs. the Jets, Jones adds. We'll continue to monitor Fields' status leading up to that one. Fantasy owners should secure a backup plan in case Fields ends up missing Week 12.

Bears WR Darnell Mooney turned 5 targets into 4 catches, 29 yards and 1 score in a Week 11 loss to Atlanta. Mooney nearly added a long TD, but Justin Fields’ downfield pass arrived overthrown. His true TD came from 16 yards out with help from a well-executed pick. The young WR now enters Week 12 with 6 or fewer targets in all but 2 games this season. Next up is an elite Jets pass D.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Bears QB Justin Fields did not dislocate his left shoulder Sunday, contrary to what NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported earlier Monday. As we mentioned before, HC Matt Eberflus called his QB "day to day." We'll see what this week reveals about Fields' status for Sunday and beyond.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Bears QB Justin Fields dislocated his left shoulder in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. In addition to deeming his QB "day to day," HC Matt Eberflus also didn't rule out the possibility of Fields missing the rest of the season. We should get a better sense of Fields' outlook over the next few days. If he's you're only QB right now, you should try to get an insurance option off waivers this week.

Bears HC Matt Eberflus on Monday called QB Justin Fields day-to-day with his left-shoulder injury. Chicago visits the Jets on Sunday, so we'll get a normal week of injury reports to assess Fields' level of involvement.

Panthers RB D'Onta Foreman managed just 24 yards on 11 carries (2.2 per rush) in Sunday's 13-3 loss at Baltimore. There's no lopsided score to blame for taking work away from Foreman here, and Chuba Hubbard claimed the team's only other 4 RB rushes (for 0 yards). Next week brings another tough defense in a matchup with Denver. The Broncos have proved vulnerable at times against the run, but Carolina's general offensive struggles won't help. We'll see who lines up at QB for the Panthers in that one. Then comes a Week 13 bye.

Bears QB Justin Fields was evaluated for a left shoulder injury after Sunday's loss to the Falcons, HC Matt Eberflus said. Fields seemed to be playing through some pain in the 2nd half of this one, although he didn't miss any time. We'll update his status when we know more.

The Bills have ruled LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin, heel) and EDGE Greg Rousseau (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Browns. CB Tre'Davious White (ACL recovery) is also not yet ready to make his season debut. S Jordan Poyer (elbow) is questionable. He finished the week with a full Friday practice, which seems to point to him playing. We'll confirm Poyer's status Sunday morning.

Bears TE Cole Kmet (thigh) is not listed on the final injury report. He got in a full practice on Friday after opening the week with a no practice and a limited practice. Kmet should be ready for his usual role vs. the Falcons on Sunday.

Bears TE Cole Kmet (thigh) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That should have him on track to play vs. the Falcons this weekend, but check back tomorrow for another update.

Bears TE Cole Kmet (thigh) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any other details on the issue but haven't heard any concern about Kmet's availability for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons. Check back tomorrow for another update on his status.
