Early signs point to backup QB Daniel starting again for Bears

Early indications are that backup QB Chase Daniel will get a second straight start when the Bears travel to New Jersey to face the Giants on Sunday.

Mitch Trubisky did not throw at Wednesday’s practice, while Daniel took all the full-speed practice reps with the first team. That’s something he was unable to do in his first start, which came on Thanksgiving Day, just four days after Trubisky suffered the shoulder injury that has him sidelined. The Bears were limited to scaled-down, walk-through practices last week, which didn’t prevent Daniel from an impressive performance in the 23-16 victory.
