Bears Turn to Case Keenum for Week 3 as Caleb Williams, Tyson Bagent Suffer 2 QB injuries

Summary
Case Keenum is lined up to start Monday night against Philadelphia after Chicago lost Caleb Williams to a hamstring injury and Tyson Bagent to concussion protocol.
Williams appears likely to miss at least some time despite "somewhat encouraging" tests, with the report noting even Grade 1 hamstring strains often sideline quarterbacks for a few weeks.
Bagent is reportedly doing well and has no concussion history, but a return within the week is viewed as unlikely because many quarterbacks miss at least one game in the protocol.
The injuries could leave the Bears with a different starter in each of the next 3 weeks, with games against the Eagles, Jets and Packers testing how coach Ben Johnson adapts without his rookie QB.
