Andy Dalton or Justin Fields? Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy to make game-time decision on quarterback

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said it will be a game-time decision as to whether Andy Dalton or Justin Fields starts at quarterback on Sunday versus the Detroit Lions.

Veteran Nick Foles is not under consideration to start, according to Nagy.

"We know what we are doing and that's what we are believing in and going with," Nagy said after Friday's practice.

Nagy has repeatedly insisted that Dalton is Chicago's starter when healthy, but the 33-year old quarterback suffered a bone bruise in his left knee in Week 2 and was inactive for last Sunday's 26-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns.
