Bears QB crisis deepens with Bagent concussion
Chicago could start third-string Case Keenum against Philadelphia if Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent are both unavailable.
In brief
Chicago could start third-string Case Keenum against Philadelphia if Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent are both unavailable. The Bears' quarterback depth is being tested immediately, with their top two options potentially sidelined for Week 3. Originally reported by CBS Sports.
Bagent in concussion protocol
Tyson Bagent has entered the NFL's concussion protocol, leaving the Bears vulnerable at quarterback heading into Week 3 against Philadelphia.
Williams already sidelined
Caleb Williams is week to week with a hamstring injury from Sunday's loss to Minnesota, putting him in danger of missing Monday Night Football.
Possible injury on final play
Bagent may have sustained his concussion on the final play of the Vikings game when Dallas Turner sacked him hard, though he showed no immediate signs of injury.
Keenum would be next up
If both Williams and Bagent are unavailable, Case Keenum would start. He hasn't played since 2023 and his last full season as a starter was 2018.
Bagent's recent performance
Bagent completed 5 of 9 passes for 54 yards in relief of Williams on Sunday. The Bears signed him to a two-year, ten million dollar extension through 2027.
The key point
The Bears' quarterback depth is being tested immediately, with their top two options potentially sidelined for Week 3.
