The idea of Justin Fields playing second string behind Andy Dalton might not suit many Chicago Bears fans but the former Ohio State passer has his own thoughts on the subject.

The Chicago Bears have made it known they are interested in obtaining Arlington Park racetrack in the northwest suburbs, and have put in a bid for the property according to the Arlington Heights Daily Herald.

Matt Nagy called Andy Dalton the starter for the opener on Tuesday and on Wednesday he cemented in Justin Fields as the backup.

Second-round Chicago Bears draft pick Teven Jenkins became the team's last rookie to sign this year and has been logging first-team snaps as well.

Bears receiver Allen Robinson doesn't know whether there will be a new contract before the July 15 deadline but at the moment he's more focused on being better even if it could be his last year in Chicago.

As the pandemic winds down the Bears have announced through a letter to season ticket holders that they officially will allow fans at Halas Hall for training camp but details are not yet available on how many they'll allow in per day.

With so much familiar to Bears safety Eddie Jackson this season it would be easy to see him bouncing back from his first season without an interception but there is one difference he has to overcome.

A rollover accident and his final reception of 2020 had Jimmy Graham looking at things in slow motion before returning for his 12th NFL aseason.

There's no way Justin Fields can beat out Andy Dalton for the opening-day start, Bears coach Matt Nagy says before calling it a quarterback competition again.

Bears 2020 opt-out nose tackle Eddie Goldman has not been with the team through voluntary work and when mandatory minicamp began on Tuesday he still was nowhere to be found.

The  deadline for bids is Tuesday, June 15 for the Arlington International Racecourse site and whether the Bears are involved going forward soon will be known.

According to The Spring League's website, the Bears are bringing in former Michigan and Spring League player T.J. Wheatley and former Auburn receiver Sal Cannella, Cole Kmet's former St. Viator teammate, for minicamp tryouts.

There will be plenty of job competition from minicamp through training camp and the preseason for the Bears but one particular fight looks wide open for any of the combatants to win.

The intensity steps up a bit for a final week of offseason work when the Bears get on the practice field Tuesday through Thursday for the mandatory minicamp, and their defense takes center stage.

The candidates on the Bears roster for third tight end have a chance to develop into a longer-term role because of Jimmy Graham's age.

It's not what Bears fans probably want to hear in relation to Justin Fields but Bears coach Matt Nagy said he saw the benefits of what happened in Kansas City in 2017 when Patrick Mahomes never played until Week 17.
