Bears QB Tyson Bagent returns to Halas Hall before Week 3
There's some encouraging news regarding Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent, who was back at Halas Hall on Friday.
The Chicago Bears are preparing for a prime-time matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, and there is positive news regarding backup quarterback Tyson Bagent's availability for the upcoming Week 3 game. According to offensive coordinator Press Taylor, Bagent returned to Halas Hall on Friday, which may indicate his readiness to play.
However, further confirmation will depend on Bagent's participation in practice and his status on the injury report. With starting quarterback Caleb Williams sidelined due to a hamstring injury sustained in last Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings, Bagent was initially considered a potential starter when Williams was out of the lineup.
Nevertheless, Bagent's concussion suffered at the end of that game jeopardized his availability. On Thursday's injury report, he was designated as a non-participant, reflecting his absence from Wednesday's practice. Therefore, we await updates from Friday's report to determine Bagent's fate. The timing is beneficial, as a Monday night game provides him with ample recovery time before the Eagles' contest.
In case Bagent cannot play, veteran backup quarterback Case Keenum is poised to start. Follow the Bears Wire on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for further updates.
