With no preseason games for the 2020 season, instead of facing the San Francisco 49ers for what would’ve been their third preseason game, the Chicago Bears made their first appearance at Soldier Field on Saturday for a scrimmage among themselves.
The media wasn’t allowed to record or update what was going on in the scrimmage due to the teams policy, but they were able to talk to the coaches and players after the game.
The big topic so far in the off-season has been the quarterback competition between Mitchell Trubisky and Nick Foles. Head coach Matt Nagy gave an update on his decision so far.
Nagy says he won’t publicly name a starting quarterback before the Bears take on the Detroit Lions in Week 1. The decision will be made internally but not publicly.
#Bears coach Matt Nagy tells reporters that he won’t publicly name a starting QB before the opener vs. the #Lions. So… game on.

The competition for the starting job has been heating up getting closer to the start of the regular season. There’s been comments on Trubisky improving and Foles being comfortable in the system.
The reason for not making it public could be to avoid the media attention and have the Lions prepare for either quarterback. But, nonetheless, the Bears and Lions kick off in two weeks and are still waiting to see who will be under center.
