Case Keenum could start for Bears at QB in Week 3 vs. Eagles
Injuries have the Bears considering their third option at quarterback.
The Chicago Bears could be forced to rely on third-string quarterback Case Keenum in their Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to reports. Starting quarterback Caleb Williams suffered a hamstring injury during their recent game against the Minnesota Vikings and is now facing an uncertain future. An MRI scan conducted on Monday showed no significant damage, but Williams remains uncertain for the Monday Night Football game.
Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent replaced Williams in the fourth quarter during the Vikings game, but concerns about his own hamstring injury might rule him out as well. With multiple quarterbacks sidelined, Keenum, who hasn't thrown a pass in a regular-season game since December 2023, could step in to fill the void. Keenum's last regular-season start was in Week 15 of the 2023 season, where he went 23-for-36 for 229 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in an overtime victory against the Tennessee Titans.
