Questionable to face Detroit Dalton (knee) remained limited at Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions. Coach Matt Nagy said Friday that his Week 4 starter will be a...

Impact It sounds like the Bears are leaving the door open for all possibilities, perhaps including a scenario where Dalton is technically active but Justin Fields gets the start. It does seem more likely Dalton would simply be ruled out, consider the Bears have a second veteran QB in Nick Foles who is capable of handling backup duties. Regardless, Nagy likely will try to avoid tipping his hand too far ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, so hints could be few and far between until the Bears release their inactive list around 11:30 a.m. Dalton is recovering from a bone bruise, and he may have to deal with considerable pain if he does end up playing. Fields's hand injury is far less serious, with the rookie avoiding a game designation altogether.

Remains limited Thursday Dalton (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Impact For a second straight session, Dalton continued to operate with a cap on his reps, while Justin Fields (right thumb) remained a full participant. The Bears have yet to name a starting quarterback for Week 4 against the Lions, which may mean coach Matt Nagy is waiting to see if Dalton will jump to full at Friday's practice. If the status quo holds, though, Dalton may yield another start to Fields.

Limited in return to practice Dalton (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact While Dalton was limited in his return to practice, rookie QB Justin Fields (right thumb) managed full participation. Coach Matt Nagy said Dalton is still the starter when healthy, but it isn't yet clear if the veteran will be cleared for Sunday's game against the Lions. Dalton suffered a bone bruise in his left knee during the Week 2 win over Cincinnati.

Impact Dalton is still the starter, if healthy, but he's likely still dealing with pain/discomfort in his left knee a week and a half after suffering a bone bruise. While Fields' hand injury appears less serious, his putrid Week 3 performance as the fill-in starter could also be a factor here. As of Wednesday, it's unclear which QB will end up starting Sunday against Detroit.

Still considered week-to-week Coach Matt Nagy said Monday that Dalton (knee) is considered week-to-week, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

Impact Dalton was held out of Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Browns due to a bone bruise in his left knee, and he isn't expected to miss significant time. However, he still could be sidelined for multiple games. A better idea of the 33-year-old's status for the team's Week 4 matchup against the Cowboys should come into focus based on his status in practice this week. Although Justin Fields (hand) started against Cleveland, Nagy said Monday that the Bears "are working through" who will start at quarterback Week 4, according to Kimberley A. Martin of ESPN.
