Overview
- Case Keenum produced an efficient start in Chicago’s 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday night, Sept. 28, completing 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards, two passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown.
- Caleb Williams remains sidelined with a hamstring injury sustained Sept. 20 and the team lists him week-to-week while league reports describe the injury as a Grade 2 strain that commonly takes three to four weeks to heal.
- Coach Ben Johnson repeatedly declined to disclose who will start Sunday against the Jets, saying the staff has “made a direction” but will evaluate reps during the week before announcing the choice.
- Tyson Bagent was cleared from concussion protocol and is available this week, and outlets report developing trade interest in Bagent that the Bears could consider before the Nov. 10 deadline.
- The Bears emphasize their three-quarterback room as a strength and will make a game-by-game decision that balances Williams’s recovery, Bagent’s status, Keenum’s momentum and the matchup the team faces.
