The Chicago Bears are expected to start quarterback Case Keenum against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. Multiple reports say this decision comes even after Tyson Bagent clears the concussion protocol, keeping him available to play.
Keenum’s expected start is framed as a return to the position after a long gap: he has not started since Christmas Eve 2023. The context includes uncertainty at the quarterback position due to injuries and recovery. Caleb Williams is reported to be unable to play, leaving the Bears to rely on either Keenum or Bagent. With Williams out and Bagent only recently returning to practice availability after concussion evaluation, Keenum is the leading option for the start.
Outlets align on the core matchup and roster situation, with coverage focused on why Keenum is favored for Monday night rather than Bagent, despite Bagent’s clearance.
