Injuries prompt Chicago Bears to start Nick Foles at quarterback vs. Seattle Seahawks

The Chicago Bears will turn to veteran quarterback Nick Foles on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks because of injuries to starter Justin Fields and backup Andy Dalton, coach Matt Nagy said Friday.

Fields suffered an ankle injury during Monday's 17-9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Dalton has been dealing with a groin injury that flared up after he returned this week from the COVID-19 list.

Foles, whom the Bears acquired last season to compete with former starter Mitch Trubisky, has not played this season.
