Coach Matt Nagy said it’s possible it will be a « game-time thing » regarding his starting quarterback decision for this week.
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — This time Chase Daniel has a little preparation.
Daniel, Chicago’s backup quarterback, last week helped defeat the Detroit Lions 23-16 as a replacement for injured Mitchell Trubisky without benefit of a real practice.
With the Bears preparing Wednesday to face the New York Giants on Sunday, Daniel took the snaps with the first team while Trubisky practiced only on a limited basis because of the shoulder injury he suffered Nov. 18 against the Minnesota Vikings.
“It’ll be good to actually get some timing down with the receivers and tight ends and running backs, although I thought it was pretty good last week, too, for not really taking a full-speed rep all week,” Daniel said. “There’s always stuff you can grow on.
“I’m a perfectionist, so what I try to do is look at the negatives of the game and try to improve on it. And there were 10 incompletions; some of those should’ve been completions. Four sacks; too many, those were all on me.”
Coach Matt Nagy said it’s possible it will be a “game-time thing” regarding his starting quarterback decision for this week.
“It will end up probably being day to day here, but when I say that, if he (Trubisky) starts feeling better and we feel like we need to make a decision earlier, we’ll do that,” Nagy said.
The Bears are not releasing details of the shoulder injury or its extent, but Nagy said again it is not a long-term situation and added there is no limit to Trubisky’s range of motion.
