Justin Fields is getting his chance to show what hes got.
On Wednesday, head coach Matt Nagy announced the rookie QB will be starting Week 3 with Andy Dalton still out with an injury.
He also made it clear when Dalton is healthy, he will return as the starter.
Fields was a two-year starter at Ohio State and a first-team All-Big Ten selection as a junior. The Bears drafted Fields with pick No. 11 overall. He signed a four-year rookie deal worth $18,871,956 with a signing bonus of $11,085,059.
Fields has already gotten on the field in both of Chicago’s games this season. He’s completed eight of his 15 passes for 70 yards with one interception. He’s also been sacked twice, and fumbled the ball once.
