Mike Glennon Named Bears' Starting QB vs. Falcons over Mitchell Trubisky

The Chicago Bears will begin the regular season with Mike Glennon as their starting quarterback.

Bears head coach John Fox told reporters Monday that Glennon will be under center against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, adding he plans to develop Trubisky throughout the season.

"I'd rather not share it with the planet," Fox said of those plans.

Even though Trubisky will play an integral role in Chicago's future, Glennon has a better chance of helping the team compete in 2017.

After spending the past four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Glennon signed a three-year deal with the Bears in the offseason.
