The Chicago Bears have been facing a quarterback controversy since moving up to draft Justin Fields in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Many Bears fans want to see Fields take the helm, although it seems they won't be getting their wish as Matt Nagy insists on playing Andy Dalton.

Bit, it appears that Fields will be running the scout team, according to Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Of course, this means that Fields will be acting as the opposing quarterback to prepare the defense for their matchup. Week 1 is against the Los Angeles Rams, and Fields will be trying to impersonate Matthew Stafford as best he can with Andy Dalton being handed the starting gig.

On the other hand, it remains to be seen when Fields ends up being the starting quarterback, and it is only a matter of time before they turn to the former Ohio State star.

The Bears have a daunting matchup against the talented Rams defense that features Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey, and perhaps Dalton doesn't even make it past Week 1. Until then, Fields is the back up and running the scout team as long as Matt Nagy continues to fire up Dalton.
