NASHVILLE – Justin Fields is right where the Chicago Bears hoped he would be at the end of the preseason.
All coach Matt Nagy will say is the Bears feel good about where they are with their quarterbacks, a group that includes Andy Dalton – who’s set to start the opener – and veteran Nick Foles along with rookie Fields, the 11th overall pick in this year’s NFL draft.
Foles threw a 54-yard touchdown pass to Jesper Horsted with 6:51 left, and the Bears held off the Tennessee Titans 27-24 on Saturday night as both teams wrapped up their preseason schedule.
Horsted, a tight end who played at Princeton, finished with three touchdowns and 104 receiving yards, catching all five passes thrown to him. His first touchdown was on a pass thrown by Fields, with the other two from Foles in the second half.
“Big picture, we love where he’s at,” Nagy said of Fields. “He’s done everything we’ve asked him to do.”
