NEW: Justin Fields has been ruled out for Bears' game against the Vikings Sunday
Matt Eberflus announced on Wednesday that Fields came into Halas Hall with a sore hip, and after further testing they found he had suffered a hip strain. Based on that, Eberflus said Fields wouldn’t be able to go through the week at full speed. Ultimately the team decided to shut him down for Sunday.
Eberflus said the Bears’ circumstances didn’t play a role in the decision. The team is 3-13 with an opportunity to lock up the No. 1 seed in the NFL draft if the Bears lose and the Texans beat the Colts. He said if Sunday were a playoff game, Fields would still sit.
