“We are proud of our 133-year-long history as one of the region’s most trusted health care partners, and we are committed to caring for our patients and our community for generations to come,” the hospital statement said. “We thank our patients, physicians and team members for their patience and flexibility during this time.”

Fields is the eighth quarterback to start against Rodgers, and while the Bears have rolled through other starters in that era, not all of them have faced the Packers. The previous seven — Kyle Orton, Jay Cutler, Josh McCown, Brian Hoyer, Matt Barkley, Mike Glennon and Mitch Trubisky — were 0-7 in their first start against Rodgers. They combined for five touchdown passes and 11 interceptions in those games while Rodgers totaled 18 TD passes and one pick. Rodgers is 12-6 in his career against rookie quarterbacks.

“They all have their own strengths and weaknesses, so probably the thing we need to do as coaches is making sure we’re using those strengths, whether it’s a type of scheme in the run game, whether it’s a protection in the pass game, just to make it a little easier,” Nagy said. “You have a younger guy, like a rookie, like Khalil. You have a guy that hasn’t seen as many defenses as somebody like David, whether it’s the vision when you get a handoff and how you read the three-tech and whether you cut in or break outside. Or if it’s a blitz, that Mike linebacker comes up in the A-gap versus coming off the D-gap. … We just have to temper with a younger guy how much volume we put on him, that he doesn’t get tripped.”
