Chicago Bears’ QB injury woes have team making desperation move for Week 3
A surprising name is expected to start for the Bears on Monday Night Football.
In a desperate attempt to secure a victory in their upcoming Week 3 Monday Night Football matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chicago Bears have made a last-minute decision to start third-string quarterback Case Keenum. This move comes after their starting quarterback, Caleb Williams, suffered a grade 2 hamstring injury last Sunday during a game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Williams' absence is expected to be short-term, as he is anticipated to return in three to four weeks. However, the Bears are currently left without a suitable replacement.
Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent, who suffered a concussion during his previous relief stint, has been cleared to play but is expected to be replaced by Keenum for the upcoming game. Keenum, despite not having started an NFL game since 2023, has built a solid and productive career spanning eight teams over a 12-year tenure. This unexpected move leaves the Bears facing a challenging situation, as they will be taking on a formidable Philadelphia Eagles defense in an early-season clash of NFC contenders.
