Chicago Bears Sign QB Tim Boyle + Justin Fields Injury Update

The Chicago Bears have signed QB Tim Boyle to the 53-man roster as Justin Fields and Trevor Siemian are dealing with injuries. Boyle was on the Lions Practice Squad and now reunites with Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy as they crossed paths in Green Bay. Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said that Fields remains “day-to-day” and will practice in a limited capacity today. Fields also said that he feels better this week than he did last week. Fields will take some reps today and so will Bears Practice Squad QB Nathan Peterman. Who will start at quarterback for the Bears on Sunday against the Packers?

Bears injury news is piling up as Eddie Jackson and Darnell Mooney were placed on season-ending IR. Mooney is set to have ankle surgery, but Matt Eberflus said Jackson might be able to avoid surgery. Rookies Kyler Gordon and Jaquan Brisker remain in the concussion protocol and it’s unclear if they’ll be able to return this week. Chicago elevated rookie UDFA A.J. Thomas off of the practice squad while signing Adrian Colbert to help bolster the Bears secondary. Alex Leatherwood might start at right tackle this week as both Riley Reiff and Larry Borom are dealing with injuries. Leatherwood hasn’t played this year, but giving him a start could allow the Bears to evaluate him.
