On final for Runway 28C in Chicago; at approximately 1700 feet and 5 DME from the localizer; we came in close proximity to a drone just south of the approach course. Drone appeared to be within about 200 feet of the aircraft. We did not have to take evasive action and landed without incident. Reported the drone to Tower who we then contacted via phone after arrival at the gate.
CRJ-200 First Officer reported a UAV in close proximity to the aircraft.
