Bears face last-minute QB change ahead of bout with NY Jets

Less than an hour before the 1 pm kickoff, the NY Jets will see a different quarterback than expected after warmups.

After starter Justin Fields was declared out with a shoulder injury, it was up to backup (and former Jet) Trevor Siemian to face the New York Jets and Mike White. Just moments ago, news from NFL insider Mike Garafolo revealed that Siemian suffered an oblique injury during pregame warmups.

#Bears starting Nathan Peterman. Trevor Siemian hurt his oblique in warmups today.

As a result, it will be Nathan Peterman who gets the start for the Bears.
