Justin Fields to Start Bears' Final Preseason Game; Andy Dalton Will Start Week 1

Rookie Justin Fields will get the start over veteran Andy Dalton at quarterback Saturday in the Chicago Bears' preseason finale against the Tennessee Titans.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Bears head coach Matt Nagy announced the news Tuesday and added that Fields will play roughly two quarters.

Per Chris Emma of 670 The Score, Nagy also said that Dalton will not play against the Titans since he is locked in as the starter for Week 1 of the regular season.

Fields, who was the No. 11 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, has been impressive in preseason action but will seemingly have to wait before supplanting Dalton as the starter regardless of how he performs against Tennessee.
