The Chicago Bears announced on Thursday that rookie quarterback Justin Fields has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Fields has thrown for 1,870 yards and seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions this season.

The plan was for Fields to get Sunday's start in the final game of the season against the Vikings as he was finally healthy after missing the last two games with an ankle injury.

Now it appears, that Andy Dalton will likely get the start.

The Bears will take on the Vikings on Sunday at US Bank Stadium at noon CT.
