Overview
- Case Keenum delivered a 27-7 Monday night win over the Eagles, passing for 247 yards, two touchdowns and scoring on a rushing TD, and his performance is a key factor in the Week 4 evaluation.
- Caleb Williams continues to sit out with a right hamstring injury the team describes as week‑to‑week and league medical sources reported to ESPN that it is likely a Grade 2 strain with a typical three- to four-week recovery window.
- Tyson Bagent was cleared from concussion protocol and is available for practice this week after missing time, and his status as the rostered No. 2 quarterback makes him a primary candidate to start if Williams cannot play.
- Ben Johnson told reporters the staff has 'made the direction' for Sunday but will not reveal the starter until closer to game day, saying the decision will be based on who gives the Bears the best chance to win.
- The choice has roster and market implications because a Bagent start would raise his trade visibility and the team is avoiding placing Williams on injured reserve to preserve a faster return timetable for the franchise quarterback.
