Bears coach Matt Nagy is staying persistent on his case that Andy Dalton, the veteran quarterback previously on Landon Cohen Jerseys the Bengals and Cowboys, will remainQB1. Right now, theres a problem with that declaration: Dalton is out with a knee injury from Week 2 and hasn't been reactivated yet.
Justin Fields, the Bears' rookie quarterback,had his secondNFL career start on Sunday, and led the Bears to a 24-14 win over their divisional rivals, the Lions.
After he was drafted in the first round in April, Bears fans waited for theday thatFields wouldtake the field as the Bears' starting quarterback. Even after two NFL starts and going 1-1, Nagy still isn't budging about the Bears' original quarterback plan.

In two games, Dalton only threw for 262 yards total, while Fields has thrown 347 yards in the two games he started.Nagys decision has become a Quandre Diggs Jerseys weekly storyline, after last week he said the quarterback choice would be a game-time decision, even though Dalton was still injured.

Dalton is getting a check-up on his knee on Wednesday, and that will determine his availability for this weekends game against the Raiders and beyond. On Monday, Nagy spoke with the media andcontinued to preach how Dalton will be the starting quarterback if hes healthy.
"We've gotta see where Andy's at health-wise," Nagy said. "When Andy's healthy, he's our starter. Justin's the 2. Nick (Foles) is the 3."
It is unclear when Nagy will make his official quarterback announcement for Sunday's Week 5 game, but it will come after Dalton's check-up on Wednesday.

If Matt Nagy was the coach of the Patriots in Rasheem Green Jerseys 2001, he would have gone back to Drew Bledsoe.
