MRI Will Determine Severity of Injury

He has an MRI scheduled for Wednesday, where doctors will determine the severity of his injury.
A source close to Fields says that he does not think it is a long-term issue and should be able to return soon.
Justin Fields had his best game as a Bear this past Sunday with 129 yards rushing on five carries including one touchdown.

Who Will Start in His Place?
In the third quarter of Sunday’s game, Bears quarterback Justin Fields injured his left shoulder and was immediately taken to the locker room.
The extent of his injury is unclear at this time, but if he is sidelined for an extended period of time, Chase Daniel will start in his place.
Daniel has been with the Bears since 2012 and had a stellar career at Missouri State before being drafted by the Saints in 2006.
He spent four years with them before signing with the Eagles in 2010 and then making his way back to Chicago.
