LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is set to play Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles after missing a practice this week because of an illness, while receiver Chase Claypool was ruled out due to a knee injury. Fields was a full participant in practice Friday for the second straight day after sitting out on Wednesday. He missed the game at the New York Jets on Nov. 27 because of a separated nonthrowing shoulder, then threw for a season-high 254 yards and ran for a 55-yard touchdown against Green Bay two weeks ago.
Senior writer Larry Mayer discusses Justin Fields’ pursuit of the NFL record for rushing yards in a season by a quarterback, the possibility of right guard Teven Jenkins getting reps at tackle and more.
Analysis: At his current rate, Justin Fields is on track to challenge for most rushing attempts for an entire season by a QB and that s probably not in his own best interest or Chicago s.
