Bears Quarterback Tyson Bagent Placed in the NFL Concussion Protocol, AP Source Says
Tyson Bagent entered concussion protocol, leaving Chicago potentially down to veteran Case Keenum with Caleb Williams also expected to miss the Eagles game.
- The Chicago Bears face a precarious quarterback situation after backup Tyson Bagent entered the NFL's concussion protocol on Tuesday, following starter Caleb Williams' hamstring injury during Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
- Bears head coach Ben Johnson described Williams as 'week-to-week' on Monday, though he remains unlikely to practice this week. Johnson termed the medical update 'somewhat encouraging' but did not rule out the quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles game.
- Third-String quarterback Case Keenum could start Monday night if both Williams and Bagent remain unavailable. The 38-year-old veteran has 66 career starts and Johnson expressed confidence he can 'get the job done if it comes to it.'
- Facing the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, Chicago's coaching staff prepares for potential roster adjustments while awaiting medical clearance. The team will release its first injury report on Thursday, which may clarify quarterback availability.
- Without a set timeline for clearing the concussion protocol, the Bears may elevate practice squad quarterback Miller Moss if Keenum is forced to start. This contingency underscores the depth challenge facing Chicago.
