Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent is placed in the NFL’s concussion protocol, according to multiple reports. His status adds to uncertainty around Chicago’s quarterback depth heading into the team’s next game.
The reports connect Bagent’s situation to recent injuries to the Bears’ quarterbacks. CBS Sports and the other outlets cite that both Bagent and starting quarterback Caleb Williams were hurt during the Bears’ Week 2 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Williams is described as week-to-week, which affects Chicago’s planning for who can play if he cannot.
Across the coverage, outlets focus on the potential impact on the Bears’ roster. CBS Sports notes the possibility that Chicago may have to use a third quarterback if both Williams and Bagent are unable to play. Other headlines characterize it as a developing quarterback problem, but all the sources agree on Bagent’s entry into concussion protocol and the prior injuries sustained in the Week 2 game.
