Andy Dalton Could Miss Additional Week Or Two
3 years agoChicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) could miss an additional week or two with a bone bruise in his knee. Dalton's knee injury, which has already sidelined him for Week 3, will pave the way for rookie Justin Fields to make a couple of more starts. While Bears head coach Matt Nagy has stubbornly stuck to his guns and said that Dalton is the starter when healthy, he seemingly about-faced when talking about Fields' intellect and how the rookie has impressed the coaching staff at practice. With quarterback-friendly matchups on tap against Cleveland, Detroit, and Las Vegas, Fields could run away with the starting job, leaving Nagy with no choice. The former Ohio State star makes for a solid streaming option in Week 3- and a potential every-week starter moving forward if he excels on Sunday.
