by Alex Chippin from on (#5TQZS)
Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields landed on the COVID-19 reserve Thursday, threatening his chances of playing in the season finale against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
Fields was expected to return for Week 18 after missing two games with an ankle injury. The Bears won both contests in his absence, with Andy Dalton and Nick Foles getting the starts.
Fields has thrown for 1,870 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions over his rookie campaign, making 10 starts and appearing in two other games. The Bears are 2-8 when he starts and 4-2 when Dalton or Foles start.
