Bears HC Matt Eberflus provides injury updates on Justin Fields, Trevor Siemian
Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus announced some injury updates at the quarterback position ahead of Wednesday's practice.
Bears quarterback Justin Fields, who suffered a separated shoulder in a Week 11 loss to the Falcons, was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Fields was limited all last week and was dubbed a game-time decision before being inactive against the Jets.

Eberflus told reporters that Fields took some reps on Wednesday. As a result, all eyes will be on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Packers.
Fields echoed that he was feeling better in his recovery.
"This is the first day this week that I am getting out on the field," Fields said. "We will see and will know more after today."
Bears backup quarterback Trevor Siemian, who got the starting nod in place of Fields, sat out Wednesday's practice with an oblique injury.
Siemian suffered the injury during warmups for the Jets game. There was a moment when it looked like it would be Nathan Peterman starting instead, but Siemian was able to give it a go.

Eberflus said both Fields and Siemian are day to day with their respective injuries.
With Fields and Siemian both injured, the Bears signed quarterback Tim Boyle off the Lions practice squad. If neither suits up against Green Bay, it'll be Peterman getting the starting nod with Boyle backing him up.
