Garoppolo has an 82.6 passer rating this season.

Both teams will be missing their starting quarterback when the Bears host the Raiders on Sunday.

Raiders starter Jimmy Garoppolo will not play because of a back injury, ESPN reported, leaving them to go with veteran Brian Hoyer or rookie Aidan O’Connell. The Bears have said Justin Fields is doubtful because of a dislocated thumb — he has not practiced — and are planning to start undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent.

Garoppolo, from Arlington Heights, hurt his back in the first half against the Patriots last week and was taken to the hospital.
