Bears are playing QB Shuffle

• Justin Fields practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday after missing last week with a shoulder injury.
  
  • Trevor Siemian did not practice.
    
  • The Chicago Bears signed QB Tim Boyle off the Detroit Lions practice squad- perhaps some reinforcements if Fields and/or Siemian cannot go in Week 13.
    

Justin Fields (shoulder) will be limited today. Trevor Siemian (oblique) will not practice today.

Matt Eberflus said both are "day-by-day."#Bears signed QB Tim Boyle from the #Lions' practice squad. Boyle has experience with Luke Getsy from their time in Green Bay.

• The Kansas City Chiefs and the Cincinnati Bengals face off this week, a meeting of two of the best young quarterbacks in the league in Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow. Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd thinks it'll be a classic rivalry. "It's going to be a quarterback fight. I look at it like Manning and Brady. You can't stop them. It comes down to whoever excels and takes advantage of their opportunities in drives and scores points."
  

• Jalen Hurts was named the NFC offensive player of the week for Week 12.

• Amid rumors that Russell Wilson has lost the Denver Broncos locker room, a report surfaced on Wednesday that only about half the team showed up to his birthday party. I'm trying not to laugh.
  

There’s been some gossip about Russell Wilson’s standing in locker room. Here’s some context. Per source Wilson’s wife Ciara thru him a birthday party last night and “it looked like about half the team was there.” On player’s day off. Why do people have to be so hurtful? #9sports

• Deshaun Watson was scheduled to meet with reporters on Wednesday, as most quarterbacks are, and opted to not speak with reporters. No one knows why (we all know why), but Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski thinks we're stupid.
  

Off the bat, Kevin Stefanski is asked why Deshaun Watson isn’t talking on a typical Wednesday:

“That’s not my department.” #browns
