Latest updates on Bears QB room could prove troublesome for Week 3
The Bears could be in rough shape this week as they face the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.
The Chicago Bears face a difficult situation as they prepare for an upcoming Monday Night Football game against the Philadelphia Eagles in just two days. Their starting quarterback, Caleb Williams, is out due to a lower-body injury, but the extent of his recovery remains unclear. Williams is expected to return soon, but the Bears have officially ruled him out for the upcoming game.
Adding to the team's problems, backup quarterback Tyson Bagent, who played in Williams' place last weekend, suffered a concussion and is currently undergoing concussion protocol. It is uncertain whether Bagent will be fit for the Monday night game. Reports suggest that he practiced on Saturday, but he still needs to clear several more steps before he can take the field.
With both Williams and Bagent sidelined, the Bears are left with third-string quarterback Case Keenum as their potential starter against the Eagles. Keenum, an NFL veteran in his 15th professional season, has a career record of 30-36 as a starter. However, his last start was in 2023 for the Houston Texans. The current situation within the Bears' quarterback room could prove troublesome as they head into their next game.
