Bears inactives: Nick Foles, Duke Shelley among those sitting out

INGLEWOOD, Calif.— As expected, the Bears’ third quarterback will be inactive Sunday night.

Nick Foles will sit, with Andy Dalton starting and Justin Fields the backup. Other inactives are: receiver Breshad Perriman, cornerback Duke Shelley, linebacker Joel Iyiegbuniwe, offensive lineman Lachavious Simmons, tight end Jesper Horsted and nose tackle Eddie Goldman.

Goldman was ruled out Saturday after hurting his knee in Monday’s practice.

Shelley is somewhat of a surprise; he and safety Marquis Christian competed all preseason for the slot cornerback job. Horsted’s absense isn’t surprising, despite his three-touchdown binge in the Bears’ final preseason game.
