Bears beat reporter Courtney Cronin gave a detailed look at the new Bears offense being installed, and a lot of it revolves around QB Justin Fields and moving. “I don't want to get too much in detail with it, but Justin’s on the move a lot, and I think he does well with that,” tight end Cole Kmet said. “That’s been exciting to see, and you see the types of throws he can make with his legs and on the run and off-schedule.”

Cronin also touched on Fields and Eberflus' relationship getting stronger and his ability to pick up the offense. “We have to be on the same page, always,” Getsy said. “That’s where I feel like he’s grown, is communicating with me so well now, things that he’s feelings, things that he sees and so that part of it has just been tremendous for a young guy to be able to do that.”

Second-year tackle Teven Jenkins also commented on how the offense looks from his point of view. “It is a big difference,” Jenkins said of the scheme. “It’s a lot faster pace, a lot more up-tempo, getting around, setting edges, all that stuff. How that affects you is you got to slim down a little bit more, get faster, speeding up in certain areas.”

The article also focuses on RB David Montgomery and his role in the new offense.

The Bears offense is one of the biggest question marks for fantasy players ahead of 2022 drafts. Even if the coaching staff is just blowing smoke towards reporters, what the offense is doing in OTAs is at least foundational for expectations this season.

When asked about QB Justin Fields Tuesday, Bears HC Matt Eberflus said “The development of him for the second year should be a big jump. It should be. That's what we're looking for. We're looking for better technique, better fundamentals, better decision-making, better timing, everything. He's all on board on that.”

Ebeflus has been forthcoming early in his Bears tenure and it also appears communication between management, coaches, and players is better than with the previous regime. Whether or not that translates to success is another story but the team is gearing up to do everything to make Fields a better player in 2022.

The Chicago Bears have signed QB Trevor Siemian to back up Justin Fields.

Siemian is not the most inspiring backup choice, but his ability to extend plays with his legs will allow Chicago to run the same offense should Fields miss any time.

With Justin Fields in COVID-19 protocols, QB Andy Dalton will start for the Chicago Bears Week 18 according to HC Matt Nagy.

Dalton has some upside in 2QB or Superflex leagues, but that is about it.

The Chicago Bears have placed QB Justin Fields on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Foles played well in his spot start Week 16 and is probably a better option than Dalton should Fields miss Week 17.

Justin Fields said his left hand was swollen and that he’d be going for X-rays to assess any damage. On Monday, head coach Matt Nagy said that Fields has a contusion and should be good to go this week.

Fields returned to the lineup on Sunday night after missing a couple of games with cracked ribs. “I feel like he should be good,” Nagy said, via NBCSportsChicago.com, in terms of Fields' hand injury.
