The Bears spent the offseason saying that the most fair to decide on their next starting quarterback would be to judge him in preseason games.
That’s not an option anymore — not after the NFL and the NFL Players Association agreed to scrap the games in favor of a strength and conditioning run-up to practice during training camp.
Bears coach Matt Nagy knows he needs to create an environment that will test both Nick Foles and Mitch Trubisky during practices. And yes, he reiterated — the quarterback competition is wide open.
“When we get a chance to go out there, we’re evaluating those quarterbacks with every single play,” he said.
