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

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Sep 28

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.
