Andy Dalton - Page 30 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Injury confirmed, Week 3 status TBD Dalton (knee) has undergone an MRI which confirmed the nature of his injury to be a bone bruise, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact The Bears have already declared that Dalton will remain the starter if healthy, but even though the nature of the veteran signal-caller's injury has now been revealed, his recovery timetable remains undisclosed. If Dalton is cleared to suit up Week 3 without missing any time, he will lead Chicago's offense in Cleveland on Sept. 26. On the other hand, if Dalton needs time on the sideline to get healthy, Justin Fields will stand to make his first NFL start while Nick Foles handles backup duties.

Will start if healthy Dalton (knee) will start versus the Browns in Week 3 if healthy enough to suit up, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Dalton will remain Chicago's starter if healthy, but the Bears are still waiting for the results of further tests on the veteran quarterback's knee. Initial results were at least encouraging to rule out such severe injuries as an ACL tear or MCL damage, and as things currently stand it appears that Dalton is dealing with a bone bruise. Rookie first-round pick Justin Fields played the entire second half of Sunday's 20-17 over the Bengals in relief of Dalton, but he struggled and only completed six of 13 passes for 60 yards, including an interception that nearly allowed Cincinnati to make a comeback.

Dodges major injury Dalton (knee) did not suffer a torn ACL or MCL according to initial medical examinations, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Dalton was forced out of Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bengals in the second quarter after coming up lame during a 14-yard scramble, though he did briefly return for the next drive before heading to the locker room. Chicago's initial diagnosis for Dalton's injury is a bone bruise, which could force him to miss some time depending on severity, but it's certainly good news that the veteran has avoided a season-ending knee issue such as an ACL tear. Further tests will reveal a recovery timetable for Dalton. Rookie first-round pick Justin Fields would stand to handle duties under center if the 33-year-old veteran can't suit up for next weekend's road matchup in Cleveland.

To undergo more tests on knee Coach Matt Nagy said Sunday that the Bears will have a better sense of Dalton's knee injury once the quarterback undergoes additional tests, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports...

Impact When asked if Dalton suffered an ACL injury, Nagy said, "I'm pretty sure that we can rule that out." As evidence, Nagy told Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune that Dalton was the emergency option at QB in the second half of Sunday's 20-17 win. Dalton didn't end up returning to the contest, finishing Week 2 with 56 yards and one touchdown on 9-for-11 passing to go with two carries for 25 yards. Meanwhile, rookie Justin Fields didn't do much with an expanded role, completing six of 13 passes for 60 yards and an interception and taking 10 carries for 31 yards. Considering Nagy's comments, the Bears will have a better idea of their situation under center in the next 24-48 hours.

Unlikely to return Sunday Dalton (knee) has been downgraded to doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

Impact With this development, Dalton is unlikely to make another appearance Week 2 after hurting his knee in the early moments of the second quarter. At the time of the injury, he was 9-for-10 passing for 56 yards and one TD and turned two carries into 25 yards. Since then, the Bears have trotted out rookie Justin Fields under center.

Suffers knee injury Sunday Dalton (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Dalton came up lame the end of a 14-yard scramble early in the second quarter and left the game for the rest of that possession. He returned on the next drive but went to the locker room thereafter, when he was diagnosed with a knee injury. If he's unable to return, Dalton will finish Week 2 having completed nine of 10 passes for 56 yards and one TD to go with two carries for 25 yards. Justin Fields took over under center for Dalton.
