The Chicago Bears have released their inactives ahead of their Week 17 game against the New York Giants, where Chicago is getting some players back but will also be without their most important.
Rookie quarterback Justin Fields will miss his second straight game after suffering an ankle injury against the Vikings in Week 15. He’s officially inactive, which means it’ll be Andy Dalton getting the start with Nick Foles serving as the backup.
The Bears are getting back left tackle Jason Peters, who’s been sidelined with an ankle injury for two games. It’ll be interesting to see who gets the start at left tackle and right tackle. Will it be the rookies Teven Jenkins and Larry Borom? Or Peters and Germain Ifedi?
Chicago will also be without cornerback Duke Shelley, who’s been battling a heel injury this week, and tight end J.P. Holtz, who’s out for a personal reason.
Here’s a look at those Bears inactive against the Giants:
- QB Justin Fields
- TE J.P. Holtz
- CB Duke Shelley
- OL Lachavious Simmons
- OL Elijah Wilkinson
The Bears and Giants kick things off at Noon CT on CBS.
