LOOK: Soldier Field gets hyped as Justin Fields makes Bears debut

The excitement is high as Justin Fields makes his Bears debut. Just listen to the crowd at Soldier Field go crazy as he runs onto the field.

It’s hard to remember the last time Bears fans were so hyped for a preseason game. But with rookie quarterback Justin Fields making his highly-anticipated debut, it’s understandable.

After a couple of weeks of Fields captivating those at training camp with his natural arm talent, the rest of the NFL world finally gets an opportunity to see  the 11th overall pick in action.

And to say the excitement was high would be an understatement. Look no further than the standing ovation Fields received as he made his way onto the field for the first time as a Bear at Soldier Field.

Fields is expected to see plenty of action in the preseason, starting with today’s game against the Dolphins, where he might play into the fourth quarter. He’s also expected to see some reps with the first-team offense.

“I would say that for Justin, [he’ll play] for sure past halftime,” said head coach Matt Nagy. “I hate to say that anything is 100 percent, but the mindset going into it is he’s going to get a lot of reps. Does that take him into the fourth quarter? Maybe. Who knows? We’ll see. But the more reps we can get him right now, the better. It’s only going to help him.”
