Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields was listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the host New York Jets in East Rutherford, N.J.
The Bears (3-8) initially named Nathan Peterman as their starting quarterback versus the Jets (6-4) after Trevor Siemian -- who was expected to get the nod -- sustained an oblique injury during pre-game warmups. The team, however, called an audible and Siemian trotted out to start the game.
ESPN reported that running back David Montgomery will serve as the emergency backup for Chicago.
Fields is nursing an injury to his non-throwing (left) shoulder sustained in last weekend's 27-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
