3 years agoChicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) was limited in practice on Friday and veteran passer Andy Dalton has been named the starter for Week 17. The rookie appears to still be banged up enough for the Bears to err on the side of caution with their future franchise passer. He hasn't been officially ruled out yet but it is hard to imagine the Bears allowing him to dress, especially after Nick Foles was also named the backup for the team's matchup against the Giants. Perhaps the hope is that Fields can play in the final week of the season and needs as many developmental reps as possible. For the season, Fields has racked up 420 rushing yards, 1,870 passing yards with nine total touchdowns and 10 interceptions.--Joey C - RotoBaller
