Chicago Bears make surprise, bench healthy Tyson Bagent: Report
The Chicago Bears ruled out Caleb Williams for their “Monday Night Football” game against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3 as he battles a Grade 2 hamstring strain suffered in a 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings last week.
Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent was put into the concussion protocol after the loss to the Vikings. It was thought he would start if he could pass the concussion protocol; otherwise, Chicago could start veteran quarterback Case Keenum with undrafted rookie Miller Moss as the backup.
The Bears are throwing everyone for a loop with a day to go before they play the Eagles.
Per Jay Glazer of Fox NFL Sunday, Bagent cleared the concussion protocol on Sunday but will not get the start against Philadelphia. The Bears are opting to start Keenum and place Bagent on the bench, believing Bagent didn’t get enough work in at practice last week.
“(Tyson Bagent) just passed concussion protocol this morning,” Glazer said, via a transcription from Patrick Norton of CHGO Bears. “So he will be in tomorrow night; he’ll be the backup quarterback. They couldn’t make him the starter because he wasn’t involved too much in the game plan.”
Chicago Bears set to bench Tyson Bagent on Monday night
Bagent is 2-2 as a starter for Chicago, last making a start during the 2023 season. He went 5 of 9 passing for 54 yards against the Vikings. Keenum is 3-36 as a starter. He last made a start for the Houston Texans in 2023. He went 1-1 with the Texans that season, throwing for 291 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions.
It remains to be seen what Bears head coach Ben Johnson will do if Keenum struggles against the Eagles defense and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Bagent appears to have skills and mobility that Keenum, a 38-year-old quarterback, lacks.
For now, Chicago will keep Bagent sidelined, hoping Keenum can play competent football after a week of practice with the first team. Keenum threw for 354 yards and two touchdowns in the preseason.
