Former Bears quarterback Justin Fields played exactly one snap Sunday. It would take a dramatic turn of events for the Bears to have their compensation for him upgraded.

The Bears traded Fields to the Steelers in March for a sixth-round pick that would turn into a fourth-rounder were Fields to play at least 51% of the Steelers’ snaps.

After beginning the season as the starter, Fields was replaced by quarterback Russell Wilson after six starts and has played just 13 snaps since.

The Bears’ sixth-round draft pick figures to be cemented Saturday when the Steelers play the Ravens.
