It looked like the Bears were going to get one more chance to see their first round draft pick on the field in the 2021 season. But that has been put into serious jeopardy. The Bears placed Justin Fields on the COVID-19 reserve list as they prepare for their season finale against the Vikings on Sunday in Minneapolis. Per new NFL guidelines, since the quarterback is vaccinated, he could still play if he’s asymptomatic and passes tests. Andy Dalton would likely start in place of Fields.
