The comedy that is the Chicago Bears season continued on Sunday.
The AFC North basement dwellers were unjustifiably holding out hope that Justin Fields could play in Week 12 against the New York Jets. Fields was ruled out Sunday morning, leaving Trevor Siemian to make his first start in a Bears uniform.
However, Siemian was injured in warm-ups on Sunday, meaning Nathan Peterman will make his first start since 2018.
As noted by Adam Schefter, Siemian will serve as the backup, with David Montgomery acting as the emergency option if the injuries continue to mount.
Nathan Peterman now will be the Bears starting QB today.
