Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields may have a different player behind him as a backup than initially expected.
The Bears signed former Panthers QB PJ Walker this offseason as the backup to Fields and gave him a two-year, $4.15 million contact with over $2 million guaranteed. But Walker has struggled throughout the preseason and went 1-for-4 for 6 yards in Chicago's 24-17 loss at Indianapolis on Saturday night.
It was undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent who stole the show against the Colts upon orchestrating a 17-play, 92-yard drive capped off by the former Division II quarterback running in a 2-yard touchdown.
