Justin Fields will play Saturday against the Titans, with coaches challenging the quarterback to run the huddle smoothly, make necessary protection calls and adjust in live action to what he’s seeing from the defense.
The revelation that Fields will be used throughout the preseason, while hardly a surprise, registers as noteworthy with Eberflus and his staff still putting together their playing-time plan for this weekend.
Who will play with Fields on offense? Which defensive starters will have the green light? That remains unclear with the Bears going case by case and weighing health concerns against developmental needs. Two of Fields’ better throws were tight-window bullets to Equanimeous St. Brown over the middle, one of which converted a third-and-14 during 11-on-11 action.
In a touchdown-to-tie scenario with 1:40 remaining starting at the offense’s 30-yard line, Fields completed six passes and marched the Bears inside the red zone. But the offense failed to score and ran out of time after attempting a bubble screen to Khalil Herbert from the 18 with 4.7 seconds left. Baskerville had two interceptions during 11-on-11 action, the first coming during a red-zone period when tight end Stephen Carlson couldn’t cleanly catch a pass in the end zone. When the ball popped into the air, Baskerville came from behind the play to make a diving pick.
