Matt Nagy took some steps backward on Monday and clarified that he plans to name a starting quarterback sometime early next week.

Nagy hinted over the weekend that he wouldn't name a starter until the Chicago Bears opened the regular season at the Detroit Lions on Sept. 13.

Nick Foles and Mitch Trubisky are Chicago's options.

"I guess I misinterpreted what I meant by that," Nagy said. "What I meant by that, to keep it real simple, was that there was not going to be a quarterback named this week that we're in right now, up until that first week. So I apologize if I made that gray. But there will be no waiting until the middle of the week or the end of the week for that to happen. That wouldn't be fair to our team and it wouldn't be fair to the quarterbacks."
