Bears Week 12 inactives: Justin Fields OUT vs. Jets

The Bears have released their inactives ahead of today’s game against the Falcons, and Justin Fields is officially inactive.

The Chicago Bears (3-8) have released their inactives ahead of their Week 12 game against the New York Jets (6-4), where Chicago is looking to break a four-game losing streak.

Unfortunately, they’ll have to do it without starting quarterback Justin Fields, who’s officially inactive for Sunday’s matchup. Fields suffered a separated left shoulder last week, which left him limited in practice. He was a game-time decision, but Chicago chose to rest their young QB against a dominant Jets defensive front.

Trevor Siemian will get the starting nod in place of Fields, while Nathan Peterman, who was promoted from the practice squad, will back him up.

Elsewhere, rookies Jaquan Brisker and Kyler Gordon were previously ruled out as they remain in concussion protocol.

Here’s a look at the Bears’ inactives against the Jets:

  • QB Justin Fields
  • S Jaquan Brisker
  • CB Kyler Gordon
  • WR N’Keal Harry
  • OL Alex Leatherwood
  • OL Ja’Tyre Carter
  • LB Sterling Weatherford

Also, a look at the Jets’ inactives:

  • QB Zach Wilson
  • WR Jeff Smith
  • TE Kenny Yeboah
  • RB James Robinson
  • DL Sheldon Rankins
  • CB Bryce Hall
  • S Tony Adams

The Bears and Jets kick things off at 12 p.m. CT on FOX.
