Bears QB Justin Fields says he has separated left shoulder

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields said he is dealing with an injury to the acromioclavicular joint in his left shoulder and will evaluate how he feels later this week before determining if he'll play against the New York Jets.

"It's a separated shoulder with partially torn ligaments," Fields said, describing his injury. "Basically, like an AC joint. That's my understanding of it."

The quarterback landed on his left shoulder after he was tackled by Atlanta Falcons cornerback Dee Alford on a first-down run with 1:47 to play in Chicago's 27-24 loss at Atlanta.
