Justin Fields set to be Quarter Back 1

Rookie Justin Fields will be starting the came after Nagy initially stated that he would be placed in the list of game-time decisions.

Andy Dalton would have been the first choice; but a knee injury he suffered he is doubtful for the game against the Lions.

It is worth noting that, Fields had suffered an injury last week too. Since, it was only a right thumb injury, he has recovered pretty quickly and is good to go.

Nick Foles is said to be Fields’ backup.
