3 years agoChicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (ribs) has already been ruled out for Week 12. However, he is in danger of missing more time than initially expected. After it was believed Fields originally suffered bruised ribs during the loss to Baltimore on Sunday, subsequent imaging revealed multiple small fractures, which undoubtedly is worse news. Nonetheless, his absence is expected to be "short term," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, although it certainly put his availability in question for Week 13 versus Arizona and potentially beyond. In the meantime, Andy Dalton should handle things under center and has a favorable outlook against the Lions on Thanksgiving.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
