Chicago Bears gearing up for Philadelphia Eagles without QB Caleb Williams or backup Tyson Bagent
The Chicago Bears are preparing for Monday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles without their starting quarterback Caleb Williams and backup Tyson Bagent. Williams is sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Bagent is out with a concussion. As a result, third-string quarterback Case Keenum will take the starting role. Keenum, who hasn't played in an NFL game since 2023, is being described as a "next-man-up" by the team.
The Bears' offensive coordinator, Press Taylor, a former Eagles assistant, believes Keenum is a suitable choice for the matchup against the Eagles' defensive scheme. The team has had ample time to prepare for the Monday night kickoff, but with only a single day to get Keenum ready, the Bears acknowledge it won't be easy facing one of the league's top defenses.
However, the team remains optimistic, noting that running back Kyle Monangai returned for a full practice after recovering from a knee injury.
