Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields has been medically cleared to return from his ribs injury and will start Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
It will be Fields’ first start since he suffered three cracked ribs in the Nov. 21 game against the Baltimore Ravens.
He said Wednesday he still feels some pain, but it’s not as bad as the pain he felt when he suffered a hip and ribs injury in the College Football Playoff semifinal against Clemson in January while at Ohio State.
