Bears Say Dalton Remains Starting QB if Healthy

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton dodged a significant knee injury. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday morning that initial exams on Dalton showed no ACL tear and no damage to the MCL, per a source informed of the injury. An MRI confirmed that Dalton merely suffered a bone bruise in his knee. Coach Matt Nagy confirmed Dalton did not tear his ACL, adding the club would know more about the QB's timeline later tonight. Despite the injury to Dalton, Nagy wasn't prepared to discuss whether Justin Fields would take over as the Bears' starter. Asked if Dalton is the starter if healthy, Nagy replied, "That's something that I'm not going to get into with scheme." Suggested who starts at QB is not scheme-related, Nagy replied, "Of course it is. That's 100% scheme. That's 100% scheme."
