Justin Fields' status has been upgraded ahead of Sunday's game.
Just a few hours after Luke Getsy said he expected Justin Fields to remain limited all week, Fields ended up being a full participant at Bears practice.
The Bears maintain that the upcoming bye week will not influence the decision to start or sit Fields this Sunday. Even with the opportunity to have Fields recuperate for three weeks in a row, the team says he's being evaluated daily as he would be at any other time of the year.
Here is what Ebeflus said: «If he feels really comfortable and feels great and his mobility and strength's back for the medical staff. And then as a GM and head coach, we look at it and say �hey, green light,' then it's a green light. So we'll see it during the course of the week. But this is on a one-week thing, day to day for this week.»
«If I feel like I can help my team win, help my team score points and put points on the board, then I'm going to go out there and play.»
Whether Fields will be ready to play when the Bears host Aaron Rodgers and the rival Green Bay Packers after sitting out last week's 31-10 loss at the New York Jets remained in question on Wednesday.
