Tyson Bagent placed in concussion protocol, putting Case Keenum in line to start Week 3
Chicago is dealing with multiple injuries at quarterback. The club will play Philadelphia on Monday night.
Chicago Bears placed their backup quarterback Tyson Bagent in the concussion protocol following their 9-3 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. This decision puts Chicago's veteran quarterback Case Keenum in line to take the starting role for their Week 3 game against the Eagles. Bagent entered the fourth quarter midway through after starting quarterback Caleb Williams exited due to a hamstring injury.
Despite playing the team's remaining 10 offensive snaps, Bagent managed to complete only five of his nine passes for 54 yards. Case Keenum, now 38 years old, has not appeared in a game since starting two for Houston back in 2023. During his brief career, he has appeared in 80 games with 66 starts, dating back to 2013. Additionally, the Bears have rookie Miller Moss at quarterback on their practice squad, who will be prepared to step in should Keenum not be ready for the Monday night game. The first injury report for Chicago in Week 3 is expected to be released on Thursday.
