Andy Dalton will start at quarterback for the Bears on Sunday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports. Justin Fields was listed as questionable all week due to an ankle injury, but coach Matt Nagy stated Friday that while Fields might return for the season finale in Week 18, Dalton would get the nod versus the Giants this week.
Fields is part of a much-hyped rookie crop of quarterbacks this past season and, when healthy, has shown flashes that he might be the best of the bunch. The Bears had better hope so as they traded away their first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft to the Giants to acquire his rights.
