It's finally happening!

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is expected to start Sunday against the Detroit Lions according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

"Bears QB Justin Fields, out the last month with a dislocated thumb, is expected to start Sunday vs the Lions, assuming today’s practice goes well," he tweeted. "The key has been regaining grip strength, and Fields was nearly there before TNF. With a solid practice, he will be."

Safety Jaquan Brisker told 670 The Score that Fields looks ready to go in practice.

“Yeah, yeah, Justin, he looks good,” Brisker said. “He definitely looks good. So we’re going to see where it goes, but I feel like Justin looks ready to go to me.”
