  • Loses starting job

    Head coach Matt Nagy said Dalton (knee) has been demoted to the backup role, with rookie Justin Fields being named Chicago's starting quarterback Wednesday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: Nagy changed his mind after previously saying Dalton would be the starter once he recovered from a bone bruise in his knee. Dalton is scheduled to practice fully Wednesday, clearing the way for him to return to action as the No. 2 option Week 5 in Las Vegas. The coach could always change his mind again if Fields continues to struggle, but he'll likely give the rookie at least a few weeks to build up job security before considering another move.

  • No decision on Week 5 starter yet

    Coach Matt Nagy said Monday that Dalton (knee) will start Week 5 if healthy, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Nagy appears intent on making a decision about his starter by Wednesday's first practice of the week. Rookie signal-caller Justin Fields avoided mistakes during Sunday's divisional win over the Lions, and he connected on a handful of deep throws, but a lack of touchdowns or significant rushing yards kept him from finding fantasy success. Meanwhile, Dalton's only complete game in a Bears uniform came Week 1 against the Rams, when he was held to 206 passing yards with one interception and one…read more

  • Inactive against Lions

    Dalton (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: With Dalton out again, Justin Fields will make his second consecutive start after he completed six of 20 pass attempts while taking nine sacks in a Week 3 loss to Cleveland. Nick Foles will serve as the No. 2 option behind Fields.

  • Unlikely to play Sunday

    The Bears have downgraded Dalton (knee) to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Lions, which will give Justin Fields another spot start.

    Analysis: After managing limited practices during Week 4 prep, Dalton was given a 'questionable' designation, likely to give the Bears a bit more time to examine the state of the bone bruise in his left knee. He likely just isn't healthy enough to retain the No. 1 quarterback job in Chicago, meaning a second absence in a row is on the horizon. With Dalton out again, Fields will be under center Sunday and looking to redeem himself after a dreadful 6-for-20 passing performance Week 3 in Cleveland. Behind…read more

  • Questionable to face Detroit

    Dalton (knee) remained limited at Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions. Coach Matt Nagy said Friday that his Week 4 starter will be a game-time decision, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It sounds like the Bears are leaving the door open for all possibilities, perhaps including a scenario where Dalton technically is active but Justin Fields gets the start. It does seem more likely Dalton simply would be ruled out, considering the Bears have a second veteran QB in Nick Foles capable of handling backup duties. Regardless, Nagy likely will try to avoid tipping his hand too far ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, so hints could be few and far between until the Bears release…read more

  • Remains limited Thursday

    Dalton (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

    Analysis: For a second straight session, Dalton continued to operate with a cap on his reps, while Justin Fields (right thumb) remained a full participant. The Bears have yet to name a starting quarterback for Week 4 against the Lions, which may mean coach Matt Nagy is waiting to see if Dalton will jump to full at Friday's practice. If the status quo holds, though, Dalton may yield another start to Fields.

  • Limited in return to practice

    Dalton (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: While Dalton was limited in his return to practice, rookie signal-caller Justin Fields (right thumb) managed full participation. Head coach Matt Nagy said Dalton is still the starter when healthy, but it isn't yet clear if the veteran will be available for Sunday's game against the Lions. Dalton suffered a bone bruise in his left knee during the Week 2 win over Cincinnati.

  • Returns to practice

    Head coach Matt Nagy expects both Dalton (knee) and Justin Fields (hand) to practice in some capacity Wednesday, and the coach noted that Dalton is still atop the Bears' depth chart at quarterback, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Dalton remains the starter, if healthy, but he's likely still dealing with pain and discomfort in his left knee a week and a half after suffering a bone bruise. While Fields' hand injury appears less serious, his putrid Week 3 performance as the fill-in starter could also be a factor here. As of Wednesday, it's unclear which quarterback will end up starting Sunday against Detroit.

  • Still considered week-to-week

    Coach Matt Nagy said Monday that Dalton (knee) is considered week-to-week, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

    Analysis: Dalton was held out of Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Browns due to a bone bruise in his left knee, and he isn't expected to miss significant time. However, he still could be sidelined for multiple games. A better idea of the 33-year-old's status for the team's Week 4 matchup against the Cowboys should come into focus based on his status in practice this week. Although Justin Fields (hand) started against Cleveland, Nagy said Monday that the Bears "are working through" who will start at…read more

  • Could be out beyond Sunday

    Dalton (knee) could miss an additional game or two beyond Week 4, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

    Analysis: Dalton has already been ruled out for Week 3, but the Bears haven't put him on injured reserve, with Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reporting Saturday that there's at least some chance for the veteran QB to avoid multiple absences. It now appears that's the less likely outcome, even if IR isn't on the table at the moment. With Dalton recovering from a bone bruise in his left knee, Justin Fields will make his first NFL start Sunday against Cleveland.

  • Week 4 return possible

    Dalton (knee) -- who has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Cleveland -- is not expected to miss significant additional time and could return as soon as Week 4 against the Lions, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Justin Fields took over after Dalton got hurt in Week 2 against the Bengals, but the rookie first-round pick struggled to move the offense. While Fields will have the opportunity to make his first career start against the Browns, his time as the starter will likely be short-lived; Chicago hasn't given any indication that Dalton's spot atop the quarterback depth chart is in jeopardy at this point.

  • Ruled out for Week 3

    The Bears have ruled out Dalton (knee) for Sunday's game at Cleveland, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: In the aftermath of the Bears' Week 2 win against the Bengals, Dalton was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee, which will result in at least one game missed. Head coach Matt Nagy has reiterated all along that Dalton will resume starting once he's healthy enough to do so, with his next chance coming Oct. 3 versus the Lions. With Dalton sidelined this weekend, though, rookie Justin Fields will get his first career start, while Nick Foles serves as the backup quarterback.

  • Won't start this week

    Bears head coach Matt Nagy announced Wednesday that Justin Fields will start at quarterback Sunday against the Browns with Dalton nursing a bone bruise in his left knee.

    Analysis: Per Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com, Nick Foles is in line to serve as the Bears' No. 2 quarterback Sunday, while Nagy reiterated that Dalton -- who will be officially ruled out by the team later in the week -- is viewed as Chicago's starter, when healthy. For now, the veteran signal-caller should be viewed as week-to-week.

  • Appears likely to sit Week 3

    Dalton (knee) is considered week-to-week and appears unlikely to start Sunday's game against the Browns, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Though the Bears haven't officially ruled Dalton out for Week 3 and head coach Matt Nagy said Monday that the veteran would remain the team's top quarterback when healthy, rookie first-round pick Justin Fields looks to be trending toward the starting nod Sunday. An MRI has cleared Dalton of any structural damage to the left knee he injured in a Week 2 win over the Bengals, but he's still tending to a painful bone bruise that could make a full recovery on a seven-day turnaround difficult. Given…read more

  • Injury confirmed, Week 3 status TBD

    Dalton was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee after undergoing an MRI on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Bears already have declared that Dalton will remain the starter, if healthy, but even though the nature of the veteran signal-caller's injury has been revealed, his recovery timetable remains undisclosed. If he's cleared to suit up Week 3 without missing any time, he'll lead Chicago's offense in Cleveland on Sunday. On the other hand, if Dalton needs time on the sideline to get healthy, Justin Fields will stand to make his first NFL start while Nick Foles handles backup duties.

    Dalton (knee) will start versus the Browns in Week 3 if healthy enough to suit up, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

    Analysis: Dalton will remain Chicago's starter, if healthy, but the Bears still are waiting for the results of further tests on the veteran quarterback's knee. Initial results at least were encouraging enough to rule out such severe injuries as an ACL tear or MCL damage, and as things currently stand it appears Dalton is dealing with a bone bruise. Rookie first-round pick Justin Fields played the entire second half of Sunday's 20-17 over the Bengals in relief of Dalton, but he struggled and only…read more

    Analysis: Dalton was forced out of a 20-17 win over the Bengals in the second quarter after coming up lame during a 14-yard scramble, though he did briefly return for the next drive before heading to the locker room. Chicago's initial diagnosis for Dalton's injury is a bone bruise, which could force him to miss some time depending on severity, but it's certainly good news that the veteran has avoided a season-ending knee issue. Further tests will help establish a recovery timetable for Dalton. Rookie…read more

  • To undergo more tests on knee

    Coach Matt Nagy said Sunday that the Bears will have a better sense of Dalton's knee injury once the quarterback undergoes additional tests, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

    Analysis: When asked if Dalton suffered an ACL injury, Nagy said, "I'm pretty sure that we can rule that out." As evidence, Nagy told Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune that Dalton was the emergency option at QB in the second half of Sunday's 20-17 win. Dalton didn't end up returning to the contest, finishing Week 2 with 56 yards and one touchdown on 9-for-11 passing to go with two carries for 25 yards.

    Dalton (knee) has been downgraded to doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

    Dalton (knee) has been downgraded to doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

    Analysis: With this development, Dalton is unlikely to make another appearance Week 2 after hurting his knee in the early moments of the second quarter. At the time of the injury, he was 9-for-10 passing for 56 yards and one TD and turned two carries into 25 yards. Since then, the Bears have trotted out rookie Justin Fields under center.

    Dalton (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Analysis: Dalton came up lame the end of a 14-yard scramble early in the second quarter and left the game for the rest of that possession. He returned on the next drive but went to the locker room thereafter, when he was diagnosed with a knee injury. If he's unable to return, Dalton will finish Week 2 having completed nine of 10 passes for 56 yards and one TD to go with two carries for 25 yards. Justin Fields took over under center for Dalton.

  • Two turnovers in losing effort

    Dalton completed 27 of 38 pass attempts for 206 yards, no touchdowns, an interception and a lost fumble in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Dalton struggled mightily against the Rams defense, averaging a paltry 5.4 yards per attempt. It was an incredibly tough matchup, so all the blame can't be placed on the veteran quarterback. Justin Fields did enter the game a few times (similar to how Trey Lance did for San Francisco in Week 1), and he managed to score the only touchdown a Chicago quarterback was credited with. Perhaps the Bears' offense would be more dynamic with the rookie under center, but the team may opt to give Dalton…read more

    Coach Matt Nagy said Dalton will start against the Rams in Week 1, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

    Analysis: Nagy said the Bears need to see Dalton in the regular season, which may or may not be his reason for standing by journeyman veteran over Justin Fields, the 11th overall pick from the 2021 draft. The Bears offensive line is questionable and might be uniquely vulnerable to Week 1 opponent Aaron Donald, so it wouldn't be shocking if the Bears wanted to keep Fields out of those treacherous waters. With that said, even if the Bears are in part trying to protect Fields, Dalton could earn a longer…read more

  • Tosses 73-yard touchdown

    Dalton completed 11 of his 17 pass attempts for 146 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Saturday's preseason game against Buffalo.

    Analysis: Dalton played the entire first half, leading six offensive drives. Half of those possessions ended after three plays, with an interception ending an additional drive. Dalton did connect with Rodney Adams for a 73-yard touchdown midway through the second quarter, making up the majority of his production on the day. The Bears seem willing to stick with Dalton as their starting quarterback to begin the season, but he's unlikely to hold onto the role for the entire campaign.

    Coach Matt Nagy said Dalton will play at least a quarter and a half in Saturday's preseason game against Buffalo, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Justin Fields (groin) is expected to play, but Dalton nonetheless figures to play most or all of the first half, presumably gearing up for the team's Week 1 start. While the rookie figures to take over at some point, Nagy still seems to be prepping 33-year-old Dalton for September.

    Dalton completed two of four passes for 18 yards in Saturday's preseason game against Miami.

    Analysis: Dalton played two drives, both three-and-outs. Rookie QB Justin Fields then went three-and-out on his first three series before putting up 17 points (with an eight-yard rushing TD and 30-yard passing TD) over his final four drives. Coach Matt Nagy has been clear about viewing Dalton as his Week 1 starter, but Fields hasn't wasted any time building his case to take over sooner than later. Both quarterbacks figure to take snaps in Chicago's second preseason game Aug. 21 against the Bills.

    Dalton will start Saturday's preseason opener against Miami but may be removed after one drive, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It sounds like Dalton will play one or two drives, depending on what happens with the first. Meanwhile, rookie Justin Fields is scheduled for far more playing time, likely replacing Dalton in the first/second quarter and then playing into the second half. Matt Nagy has made multiple comments about Dalton being his starting quarterback, but an impressive August from Fields could have the Bears coach singing a different tune come September.

  • Considered Week 1 starter

    Although the Bears have affirmed Dalton as the Week 1 starter, coach Matt Nagy dodged a question Tuesday as to whether Justin Fields can impress enough in camp to win the job , Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: As of now, there's no reason to expect the Bears to change their stance on Dalton beginning the year under center, but after Nagy's lack of immediate support for the team's current plan, there may be an element of doubt. It's possible that performances in preseason games could change who's named the Week 1 quarterback, but it's nothing more than speculation as training camp is set to open.

  • Could begin season as starter

    Dalton may open the year as the Bears No. 1 quarterback before eventually turning the job over to Justin Fields, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Although Dalton was signed in free agency to start under center, once the team spent significant draft capital to move up to the 11th pick, it's likely the Bears will go to Fields as soon as they feel he's ready to lead the offense. Even before the draft, Dalton was unlikely to be valued inside the top-20 quarterbacks in fantasy drafts, and now it appears his value is little more than early-season depth in leagues that start two quarterbacks.

    General manager Ryan Pace confirmed Friday that he views Dalton as the Bears' starting quarterback, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

    Analysis: The Bears had already listed Dalton as the "QB1" heading into OTAs, but to see Pace so openly talk of him as the starter would seem to confirm that a competition with Nick Foles isn't being seriously considered. Per Hoge, the general manger discussed Dalton's style of play -- specifically his affinity for play-action, RPOs and ability to drop back -- as being a good fit for coach Matt Nagy's offense. Dalton should certainly offer Chicago more consistency under center than Mitchell Trubisky did…read more

  • Earns vote of confidence

    The Bears listed Dalton as their "QB1" heading into OTAs.

    Analysis: Dalton was expected to compete with Nick Foles for the starting job in 2021 after Mitchell Trubisky left for Buffalo in free agency. However, the Bears' social media account tipped off that Dalton is the clear frontrunner for the gig, and the Twitter post could even signal that the team may move on from Foles altogether.

    Dalton completed 29 of 47 pass attempts for 243 yards and one interception while adding 48 yards on seven carries during Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Dalton, who struggled mightily in the early going, averaged just 5.2 yards per attempt while completing 62 percent of his passes. He steadied the ship and led his team into the red zone with a chance to win late, only to throw an interception in the end zone in the face of relentless pressure.

    Analysis: He also gained 15 rushing yards on five carries. In a battle between two of the worst secondaries in the league, Dalton and Jalen Hurts combined for 719 passing yards, but it was the veteran who came out on top with two TD strikes to Michael Gallup and one to CeeDee Lamb, with both Gallup and Amari Cooper piling up 121 receiving yards on the afternoon.

He did avoid turning the ball over for the second straight game, however, while completing touchdown passes to Michael Gallup and Dalton Schultz.

He tallied multiple touchdowns for the third time in his last four starts, connecting with Amari Cooper and Tony Pollard for 11 and seven-yard touchdown tosses, respectively.

  • Solid numbers in loss

    Dalton completed 31 of 48 passes for 285 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Cowboys' 34-17 loss to the Ravens on Tuesday night. He also gained two yards on his one rush.

    Analysis: The veteran quarterback has looked increasingly comfortable helming the Cowboys offense, with Tuesday night's effort qualifying as one of Dalton's most productive yet this season. The 33-year-old threw touchdown passes to Michael Gallup and Amari Cooper in the second and fourth quarters, giving him multiple scores in two of his last three games. Dalton's yardage tally was also a season high, with his one blemish coming in the second quarter in the form of an interception by Patrick Queen on a…read more

  • Held in check on Thanksgiving

    Dalton completed 25 of 35 passes for 215 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Thursday's 41-16 loss to Washington. He also gained 17 rushing yards on three carries.

    Analysis: The veteran QB hit Amari Cooper for a 54-yard touchdown early in the second quarter to give Dallas a 10-7 lead, but it proved to be the team's last lead of the afternoon as Washington's pass rush and ground attack took control. Dalton's INT was actually a pick-six, as Montez Sweat leaped to bring down an attempted screen pass and took it 15 yards for a score, but the game was already well out of hand at that point. The Cowboys remain in the hunt in the feeble NFC East despite the loss, but…read more

  • Tosses three TDs in win

    Dalton completed 22 of 32 passes for 203 yards and three touchdowns with an interception in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: All three TD passes went for six yards or less, as the Dallas offense rode Ezekiel Elliott and the running game between the 20s before Dalton finished the job in the red zone. It was an impressive return to action for the veteran QB, who'd missed the last two games due to a concussion and a COVID-19 diagnosis, and Dalton will get a chance for some revenge against the defense that knocked him out of action in Week 7 when Dallas faces Washington on Thanksgiving in an unlikely battle for the NFC…read more

    Dalton is expected to start Sunday's game against the Vikings after being activated from the reserve/COVID-19 earlier this week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy never officially named a Week 11 starter, but Dalton should take back the reins of the Dallas offense from Garrett Gilbert now that he's made a full recovery from the coronavirus in addition to clearing the NFL's concussion protocol. The veteran signal-caller was a full participant in practice throughout the week, clearing up any concern about his readiness for game action.

  • Off COVID-19 list

    The Cowboys activated Dalton (concussion/illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: A report from the Cowboys' official site Monday relayed Dalton cleared the concussion protocol and the necessary testing to come off the COVID-19 list, but the second one was a premature assessment. Now officially cleared from the COVID-19 list, he can gear up for Sunday's visit to Minnesota, where he'll likely retake the reins of the offense for the first time since Week 7. Expect the Cowboys to confirm as much in the near future.

    Updating a previous report, Dalton (concussion) wasn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, but the quarterback remains on track to return to action in the Cowboys' Week 11 game at Minnesota, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Dalton was ruled out ahead of the Cowboys' Week 9 loss to the Eagles while recovering from a concussion before he was moved to the reserve/COVID-19 list on Nov. 3 after contracting the coronavirus. The quarterback has since cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, and he's believed to be fully recovered from COVID-19 after being asymptomatic following his positive test. That said, Dalton's continued presence on the list suggests he still has to pass a few more phases of the NFL's…read more

  • Clear of concussion, COVID-19 list

    Dalton (concussion/illness) has cleared the concussion protocol, and the Cowboys activated him from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Nick Eatman of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Dalton picked up a concussion Oct. 25 when he took a massive hit while sliding at Washington. A little more than a week later, he was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on the Tuesday before a Sunday, Nov. 8 matchup with the Steelers. The result was back-to-back DNPs before the Cowboys' Week 10 bye, a span in which Ben DiNucci and then Garrett Gilbert acted as the team's starting QB.

    Dalton (concussion/illness) practiced fully Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: With that, the QB is on track to come off the reserve/COVID-19 list in advance of Sunday's game against the Vikings. With regard to Dalton starting that game, coach Mike McCarthy noted Monday that Dalton "looked good today. We'll take it one day at a time," Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Coach Mike McCarthy isn't optimistic that Dalton (concussion/illness) will be cleared for action by the end of this week, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: That said, the Cowboys are on bye Week 10, so the QB will look to gain medical clearance next week as the team's preparations for a Nov. 22 matchup against the Vikings begin. Once he's back on the field, Dalton will be reinstated as the team's starting QB.

    Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Monday that Dalton (concussion) will start under center when cleared to return, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Dalton has missed back-to-back contests, sitting out Week 8 due to a concussion and then landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list Week 9. In relief of Dalton, Garrett Gilbert provided the Dallas offense with a legitimate spark during Sunday's narrow 24-19 loss to the Steelers, nearly paving the way for an upset win while racking up 243 yards with a touchdown and one interception. In comparison, Dalton only has one TD versus three picks on the year, but it doesn't appear that the Cowboys are willing…read more

  • Lands on COVID list, out Week 9

    The Cowboys placed Dalton (concussion) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, meaning he'll miss Sunday's game versus the Steelers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Regardless of Dalton's progress through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, he won't be able to clear the league's COVID-19 protocols by Sunday. This means Ben DiNucci will likely start a second straight game under center while Garrett Gilbert serves as the backup quarterback. The Cowboys have a Week 10 bye, so Dalton will aim to return Week 11 against the Vikings.

    Dalton hasn't cleared all the steps of the concussion protocol, but there's hope the quarterback will return Sunday against the Steelers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: After last Sunday's loss at Philadelphia, coach Mike McCarthy told Jon Machota of The Athletic that Dalton was improving, indicating some measure of progress through the protocol. There's an expectation that the veteran QB will complete them in advance of Sunday's game, but recoveries from head injuries are notoriously difficult to predict.

  • Expected to start in Week 9

    Coach Mike McCarthy said after Sunday's loss to the Cowboys that Dalton (concussion) is doing significantly better and is expected to start next Sunday against the Steelers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Dalton will need to clear the concussion protocol, but a return to practice this week would go a long way toward verifying his status for Week 9. Rookie Ben DiNucci looked overmatched as the fill-in starter under center Sunday, so Dalton's return would be a major boon to all of Dallas' skill position players, even with a tough matchup against the undefeated Steelers on tap.

    The Cowboys have officially ruled out Dalton (concussion) ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: No surprise here, as Dalton was originally deemed doubtful for the contest and held out of practice all week. As a result, rookie seventh-round pick Ben DiNucci is expected to make his first career NFL start. The veteran quarterback will continue to focus on his recovery and look to make his way out of concussion protocol for the Cowboys' Week 9 contest against the Steelers.

  • Doubtful for SNF

    Dalton (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Dalton was held out of practice all week, setting the table for seventh-round rookie Ben DiNucci to make his first NFL start. Anyone counting on DiNucci for a fantasy lineup will want to keep tabs on the situation, as the decision to list Dalton as 'doubtful' rather than 'out' might be taken as a hint that he has some tiny chance to play. The Cowboys and Eagles are playing in the Sunday night game, with the opening kickoff scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET.

As Gehlken notes, Dalton participated in the team's quarterback meeting Thursday, which suggests the Cowboys have some hope he might be available for Sunday's game in Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Dalton will need to fully clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before being eligible to return to the field. The veteran's absence from the first practice of the week isn't a promising early sign for his availability for Sunday's game against the Eagles. If Dalton can't go, rookie Ben DiNucci would likely be in line for his first NFL start.

Ben DiNucci struggled to move the offense in place of Dalton, ultimately completing two of three pass attempts for 39 yards while taking three sacks.

If Dalton is unable to return, he'll finish the game 9-for-19 for 75 yards and one interception. Ben DiNucci, the only other QB active for the Cowboys, took over for Dalton under center.

    Dalton completed 34 of 54 passes for 266 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the Cowboys' 38-10 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night. He also gained four yards on two rushes.

    Analysis: Dalton's serviceable line belies the fits and starts that defined the Cowboys offense, although not all the blame can be laid at the feet of the veteran quarterback. Ezekiel Elliott's two fumbles certainly didn't help the cause, but Dalton also lacked arm strength and accuracy on his throws. He also took three sacks and got hit eight times, with the significant difference between his mobility and that of Dak Prescott evident on many plays as he worked behind an injury-ravaged offensive line.…read more

Offensive coordinator Kellen Moore gave the veteran QB a chance to make an impact in the red zone, but with everyone covered Dalton did the smart thing and threw the ball away.

    Analysis: The 32-year-old was cut by the Bengals earlier in the week, and it only took a couple days for him to latch on with a new club, though he's clearly not signing as a starter. There was significant speculation of Dalton landing with a team lacking a proven quarterback, but the TCU product will return to Texas to serve as the backup for Dak Prescott.

    Analysis: Team and player both seem to prefer a trade, but it's difficult to find a partner in a market where free-agent quarterbacks Jameis Winston and Cam Newton are struggling to drum up interest. Ultimately, it would make sense for the Bengals to cut Dalton if they do in fact use the No. 1 overall pick on Joe Burrow, as the 32-year-old quarterback doesn't have any guarantees on his $17.7 million compensation for 2020.

    Analysis: It's no secret the Bengals want to trade Dalton before they use the No. 1 overall pick on Joe Burrow. The 32-year-old quarterback is expected to have some say in his next NFL destination, as the Bengals hope to remain on good terms with their longtime starter. It's hard to imagine Dalton having any complaints about Chicago, where he'd be matched with a good defense and likely would have the upper hand on Mitchell Trubisky in a job battle.

    Dalton completed 16 of 28 pass attempts for 190 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 33-23 win over the Browns. He also carried eight times for 10 yards and an additional touchdown.

    Analysis: Dalton completed just over half his passes against a tough Cleveland secondary and was limited to 6.8 yards per attempt. He completed a 15-yard touchdown pass to T.J. Uzomah in the first quarter and added a five-yard rushing score in the second. It was a rather fitting way to cap off the season for Dalton, who has been wildly inconsistent throughout and finishes with a 16:14 TD:INT in 13 games.

    Dalton completed 33 of 56 passes for 396 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bengals' 38-35 overtime loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also lost a fumble, threw a two-point conversion pass and had a two-point conversion run.

    Analysis: Dalton capitalized on one of the most favorable matchups for a quarterback in the NFL this season, and the extra period helped him to pad his final numbers. However, the majority of the damage naturally was done during regulation, particularly in a second half during which Dalton led the Bengals back from a 28-6 third-quarter deficit with four touchdown drives, the latter pair culminating in successful two-point conversions.

Dalton then led a field-goal drive that gave Cincinnati a brief lead.

    Dalton completed 22 of 38 pass attempts for 262 yards and an interception while carrying three times for 11 yards during Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Dalton completed just 58 percent of his attempts against a middling Browns pass defense and finished with a lackluster 6.9 yards per attempt. He finished without a touchdown pass for the third time this season and now owns a 10:9 TD:INT overall. Dalton should remain the starter next Sunday against the Patriots, but it's difficult to imagine him posting fantasy-friendly numbers against one of the toughest defensive matchups in the NFL.

    Dalton completed 22 of 37 passes for 243 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-6 win over the Jets. He also finished with minus-4 rushing yards on five attempts.

    Analysis: Dalton showed no signs of rust in his first appearance since Week 8, leading the Bengals to their first win of the season. He threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Boyd in the first quarter and would have had another passing score in the second quarter if not for a brutal drop by tight end C.J. Uzomah. Likely entrenched as the starter the rest of the way after a three-game cameo by Ryan Finley, Dalton will lead the Bengals into Cleveland in Week 14 sporting a 10:8 TD:INT.
