Bears coach Matt Eberflus and his staff had planned to meet with Colts coach Shane Steichen and his staff Tuesday to map out practices, from the tempo to the matchups they want to see.Eberflus described it as a “big week” for a player like rookie cornerback Tyrique Stevenson, who will have to adjust to defending a new set of players at the NFL level after spending so much time against Bears wide receivers like DJ Moore and Darnell Mooney in training camp.
“Your quarterback is still wearing a different-colored jersey,” Getsy said. “But everything’s happening faster and it’s a different opponent, so you get to play the game speed.” “We’ll probably do more stuff than in a preseason game,” Fields said. “So I’m excited to see those different looks and know they’re probably going to make it challenging on our offense. It’ll be good for the guys.”Steichen announced Tuesday that rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson, whom the Colts drafted with the No. 4 pick this spring, will be their starter this season instead of Gardner Minshew.
