With Fields questionable to play against the Jets, the Bears elevated a quarterback this weekend. According to Mike Garafolo with the NFL Network, the Bears elevated quarterback Nathan Peterman before their Week 12 game against the Jets.
The #Bears are elevating QB Nathan Peterman to the active roster today. They haven’t ruled Justin Fields out and could keep him in play until game time but it’s certainly feeling like Trevor Siemian could be the QB against the #Jets tomorrow.

It’s still unclear if Fields will be able to play against the Jets. But this elevation seems to indicate the Bears are prepared to have backup quarterback Trevor Siemian start against the Jets. Peterman would then be the backup for Siemian.
The Bears will also miss rookie defensive backs Jaquan Brisker and Kyler Gordon, who sustained concussion injuries. Linebacker Sterling Weatherford has also been ruled out against the Jets with a concussion.
