Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields has been turning heads all throughout Training Camp. But on Thursday, he had his best practice yet.

Every member of the Chicago media who was in attendance at Training Camp on Thursday was raving about Justin Fields’ light-out performance.

So far, the Bears have stayed firm on their plan to start Andy Dalton over Justin Fields to begin the season. But the dynamic rookie might be changing the narrative.

Chicago has their first preseason game on Saturday when they face off against the Dolphins at Soldier Field, and coach Matt Nagy has already said that Fields will get plenty of reps in the game.

“For Justin, for sure [he’ll play] past the halftime,” Nagy said before the Bears and Dolphins held a joint practice via ESPN.

“The mindset going into this is that he’s going to get a lot of reps. Does that take him into the fourth quarter? Maybe. … The more reps we can get him right now, the better. It’s only going to help him.”

If Justin Fields continues to dominate practices, and turns some heads during preseason, expect him to start under center for the Bears Week One.
