Andy Dalton Removed From Final Injury Report
3 years agoChicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) practiced in full all week and was removed from the final Week 5 injury report against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Bears had been saying all along that Dalton would remain the starter once he was healthy, but that tune changed earlier this week when they announced that rookie Justin Fields would start this weekend against Las Vegas. Dalton will begin this Sunday's game as the backup, but he could be an option to take over mid-game if Fields struggles against a much-improved Raiders defense. Fields took nine sacks in a disastrous first NFL start in Week 3, but he looked better in the Week 4 win over the Detroit Lions. The 33-year-old Dalton would only be a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues if he regains the starting gig down the line.
