Andy Dalton will get the start this Thursday night with Justin Fields out due to a ribs injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Fields had more tests done on his ribs Monday, but the short week is not enough time for him to recover.
Fields left Sunday's game against the Ravens in the third quarter after sustaining the injury. Initial tests found that the ribs were not broken, but were bruised, per NFL Network.
Dalton, who was initially Chicago's starter in the beginning of the season, will lead the offense on Thanksgiving against the winless Lions.
