Case Keenum to Start for Bears in Week 3 as Williams, Bagent Miss Time

Summary
Chicago will start veteran Case Keenum against Philadelphia on Monday night after Caleb Williams' hamstring injury and Tyson Bagent's concussion upended the Bears' quarterback plan.
Bagent cleared concussion protocol Saturday and returned for a full practice, but Keenum had taken the starter's reps all week and will make his first NFL start since late 2023.
Williams was hurt in Week 2 after the Bears managed only 3 points in a loss to Minnesota, leaving a 0-2 team searching for stability against a strong Eagles defense.
Keenum, signed as a veteran backup and mentor, could stay in the mix for Week 4 if he avoids mistakes and Williams remains sidelined.
