Rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent will start Sunday’s game against the Saints, Bears coach Matt Eberflus said.
Starter Justin Fields remains “week-to-week” and is “progressing,” Eberflus said Monday. Fields dislocated his right thumb when he was sacked by the Vikings in the third quarter of their Week 6 game. He did not throw in either of the two weeks following the game.
Fields traveled with the Bears to SoFi Stadium on Sunday night, even taking part in the pregame coin toss.
