Expect to see a lot more Andy Dalton and the starting offense against the Bills. Dalton only played seven snaps in last week’s preseason opener against the Dolphins, but that’s expected to change. Matt Nagy said Dalton will play into the second quarter before rookie Justin Fields takes over. Chicago’s starting offense failed to establish a rhythm last week against Miami, where they had two three-and-outs. They’ll be looking to change that against the Bills.
Justin Fields sat out Wednesday’s practice with a sore groin, where Nagy was being “extremely cautious” with the intent being for him to play against the Bills, which gives the Bears a better opportunity to evaluate him. Fields was limited in his return to practice Thursday, and the expectation is he’ll play against Buffalo.
