Bears coach Matt Eberflus said he will confer with Colts coach Shane Steichen and his staff Tuesday night to plan their two joint practices and make sure both teams get the work they need. Coaches often coordinate their approaches to how long starters will play in a preseason game in this scenario as well.
Eberflus was noncommittal about whether quarterback Justin Fields will play Saturday or rely on the practices as game-like work, but seemed to be leaning toward playing him.
