Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will return to the lineup on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. The second-year quarterback has no injury designation heading into the weekend after missing last week’s 31-10 loss against the New York Jets with a separate shoulder he suffered two weeks ago against the Atlanta Falcons.
Fields is good to go after getting in consecutive full practices and will look to help the Bears snap their seven game losing streak vs. Green Bay. “He’s been medically clear to play. He’s 100 percent.” Eberflus told reporters on Friday.
Bears’ QB Justin Fields was a full participant in practice today for a second straight day and has no injury designation going into Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. Bears believe he’s good to go.

Fields’ shoulder injury has been a hot topic amongst Bears fans over the last week and a half. With the team effectively out of any playoff race, should they rest their franchise quarterback and keep him out of danger behind a suspect offensive line and limited weapons? Or if he’s deemed healthy, let him continue to develop and finish the season out?
It looks like the Bears are rolling with the latter but fans have mixed opinions on the matter. Here’s how Twitter is reacting to the return of QB1.
If Justin Fields goes out and lights up the Packers, every #DaBears fan is going to be extremely happy.
If Fields further injures himself – it's going to be a tough sell to the fans come Monday. https://t.co/lfqikb9XbQ

Not happy about this but I'm hoping he doesn't get hurt again. I can't imagine that shoulder is 100% fully healed in only two weeks https://t.co/O8jArcGRuw

Makes no sense to play him, nothing to gain only bad can come from this https://t.co/CUwIORi3L5

#Bears HC Matt Eberflus says Justin Fields has shown grit all year and his quick recovery is an example of that.

The fact that Justin Fields is playing instead of taking time to heal up is a testament to what a beast he is mentally and physically.
Dude just doesnt quit. https://t.co/1JW49RlDdV
