Overview
- Johnson said Wednesday he does not yet know who will start at quarterback for Monday’s game, signaling unresolved availability for the position.
- Starter Caleb Williams is listed week‑to‑week with a right hamstring strain and has not practiced this week as the team manages his recovery.
- Backup Tyson Bagent entered the NFL concussion protocol after replacing Williams on Sunday, leaving his Week 3 status dependent on the multi‑step return process.
- Veteran Case Keenum took first‑team reps in practice and is the most probable immediate option, even though he has not thrown a regular‑season pass since 2023 and has primarily been a mentor.
- The Bears will not add an outside quarterback this week and would likely elevate undrafted rookie Miller Moss from the practice squad as Keenum’s backup if both Williams and Bagent remain unavailable.
