After a season of taking sacks and brutal hits, Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will finally get some rest. The Bears will sit Fields in Week 18 due to a hip injury. Backup Nathan Peterman will start as the team takes on the Minnesota Vikings.
It wasn't a perfect year for Fields. He still made head-scratching throws at time, especially early in the season. He held the ball too long and took too many hits. Some of that can be blamed on his supporting cast. The offensive line is poor and the Bears are exceptionally thin at receiver with Darnell Mooney out. If the Bears use their cap space to bring in talent and Fields takes a step forward as a passer, the Bears could be a much better team in 2023.
Chicago can also drop in the draft with a win in Week 18. If the Bears win and either the Denver Broncos or Arizona Cardinals lose, Chicago could drop as low as the No. 4 overall pick. Though that's not a huge fall, it could have massive implications for a number of teams.
