Chicago places quarterback Tyson Bagent in the concussion protocol ahead of its Monday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The move increases the likelihood that the Bears will need to turn to backup options for Week 3.
Caleb Williams has not been ruled out for “Monday Night Football,” according to one report. However, with Bagent sidelined under the concussion protocol, Case Keenum—described as the team’s 38-year-old third-string quarterback—stands out as the most plausible starter if neither Williams nor Bagent is available. Across the reports, the central focus is the Bears’ quarterback depth situation and the timing of availability decisions tied to concussion-clearance procedures.
The outlets differ mainly in emphasis: one report centers on Bagent’s immediate status and Keenum’s potential path to the starting job, while another highlights the conditional nature of Williams’ status and frames Keenum as the likely alternative if Williams is also unavailable by kickoff.
