Rapoport: Bears believe Justin Fields only bruised ribs

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields had negative X-rays on his ribs, reports Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

What It Means:

Fields will undergo additional testing, but he is believed to have avoided a fracture and is only dealing with bruised ribs. That is definitely positive news, but the rookie first-rounder is still uncertain for the Bears' Week 12 matchup with the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Andy Dalton will start in the plus matchup if Fields is ruled out, which would be a modest upgrade for Chicago's pass-catchers.

Fields completed 4-of-11 passes for 79 yards and rushed 4 times for 23 yards, with a lost fumble, in Week 11. Dalton completed 11-of-23 passes for 201 yards with 2 touchdowns in relief.
