Bears Coach Matt Eberflus Reveals Preseason Playing Plan for Justin Fields and Starters

As NFL Training Camps progress, teams need to test out their new strategies and lineups in live game situations. The Chicago Bears, facing some chemistry issues during the offseason, are no exception. Head Coach Matt Eberflus has unveiled his approach to prepare the team for the upcoming season, with a focus on their star quarterback, Justin Fields, who remains at the heart of their game plan.

Eberflus confirmed that Fields will see playing time in the upcoming preseason game against the Tennessee Titans. However, he also expressed uncertainty about the exact amount of playing time for Fields during these exhibition matches. In a recent statement to the Chicago Sun-Times by Mark Potash, Eberflus shared his thoughts, "It will be some play time � a little bit in there. But [how much] I'm not sure. We'll have to continue to discuss that."

While the playing time for Fields may not be completely defined yet, Eberflus emphasized that the Bears' starters will indeed take the field against the Titans. He believes that despite the team's relative youth, the players need preseason action to gain valuable experience. "We do have one year of experience, albeit we still have a very young football team. But, I do think they need to get some time in the preseason for sure," he concluded.

As the Bears continue their preparations, the question remains whether the experience gained during NFL Training Camp will be enough to perform well against other teams during the preseason. The coaching staff's careful management of playing time will be crucial to strike the right balance between readiness and keeping players fresh for the regular season.
