The Chicago Bears said this week that Andy Dalton will still be their starting quarterback when healthy, but the veteran is not going to play on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. The team has not given a timetable for Dalton’s return from his knee injury, and we can probably expect that theme to continue.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter said on “Get Up!” Thursday that he believes the Bears will hold Dalton out again in Week 4 if rookie Justin Fields plays well in a winning effort on Sunday. Matt Nagy, who was with the Kansas City Chiefs when Patrick Mahomes rode the bench for a season, had been committed to starting Dalton all season. Schefter thinks the Bears will remain vague with Dalton’s knee injury to give themselves flexibility.
