Fields said Wednesday that the injury to his non-throwing arm is a separated shoulder with partially torn ligaments, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bears aren't conducting a full practice to kick off Week 12 prep, but Fields will be listed as a limited participant on the team's estimated practice report, head coach Matt Eberflus told Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site earlier Wednesday. Per Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune, Fields himself added that he'll plan to play Sunday at the Jets if he believes he can play through the injury while protecting his shoulder. Before a decision on his status is made, Fields seems poised to test out his injured shoulder Wednesday through Friday in order for he and the Bears to come to a consensus. If he's unable to play, Fields will yield the start under center to backup Trevor Siemian.
