When the Bears drafted Justin Fields in the first round of this year's NFL draft just over after already adding veteran quarterbacks Andy Dalton and Nick Foles, it created a bit of a log jam at a position that Chicago has struggled to get consistent production out of in recent years. A week before the team's season opener against the Rams, the pecking order has become clear.
Fields will serve as the backup to Dalton, with Foles serving as Chicago's No. 3, head coach Matt Nagy told The MMQB's Albert Breer. While that outcome might not sound too surprising considering Nagy's insistence that Dalton would be the starter, that Fields is tabbed ahead of Foles already is a noteworthy development.
