The Chicago Bears will start Justin Fields against the visiting Detroit Lions on Sunday at Soldier Field.
The Bears announced the move Sunday while simultaneously noting that Andy Dalton has been downgraded to doubtful with a knee injury.
Bears head coach Matt Nagy told reporters last Monday that Fields, Dalton and Nick Foles were all under consideration for the starting job against the Lions, per The Athletic.
"They're all three under consideration right now in regards to where they're at, so we'll just kinda have to see in the next couple days where they're all at.
