Bears' Justin Fields filling in for Andy Dalton (questionable, knee)
Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will replace starter Andy Dalton, who is questionable to return in Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
What It Means:
As of this writing, Dalton was forced off the field with injuries twice during this game, the second of which opens the door for 2021 first-round pick Justin Fields to make his first impression on the league.
Fields played a significant amount of preseason snaps, flashing elite athleticism and arm talent, but also making some rookie mistakes. He'll now face a Cincinnati defense that has put up a surprising defensive front to start the season.
