Rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent will start Sunday’s game against the Saints, Bears coach Matt Eberflus said.

Starter Justin Fields remains “week-to-week” and is “progressing,” Eberflus said Monday. Fields dislocated his right thumb when he was sacked by the Vikings in the third quarter of their Week 6 game. He did not throw in either of the two weeks following the game.
