Rookie quarterback Justin Fields will get the start for the Bears in their preseason finale against the Tennessee Titans, Matt Nagy announced Tuesday.
Nagy said that Andy Dalton won’t play because he’s the Week 1 starter, something he’s reiterated from the start.
When asked about Fields’ next opportunity to be a starter for the Bears, Nagy explained it’ll be solely based on Dalton’s performance and wins, which makes you wonder how short his leash is.
“Like every position, the quarterbacks will be evaluated daily,” Nagy said.

Fields has seen playing time with the second and third-team offenses in his first preseason games. But with Fields expected to start at some point during his rookie season, there’s a need for him to see some reps with the starters against the starters.
