Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said Wednesday that rookie Justin Fields will start at quarterback against the Cleveland Browns Sunday in place of Andy Dalton, who has a knee injury. Nagy said Dalton is week to week.

Fields, who Chicago took with the Number 11 pick in the 2021 draft, took over after Dalton hurt his knee early in the second quarter of the Bears’ 20-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

 

Dolphins' Tagovailoa's Ribs Fractured

The Miami Dolphins announced Wednesday that what they thought were quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's bruised ribs were actually fractured, and he won’t start Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.

It’s unclear how long he’ll be out. Jacoby Brissett will start, after playing most of Miami’s 35-0 loss to the Buffalo Bills Sunday when Tagovailoa was hurt early.
