Overview
- Head coach Ben Johnson told reporters on Saturday that the Bears do not plan to sign another quarterback ahead of Monday night’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
- Caleb Williams is classified as week‑to‑week with a hamstring strain and is expected to miss the Eagles game, creating the initial need for an alternate starter.
- Tyson Bagent cleared the NFL concussion protocol and returned to practice on Saturday, but the team has not named a starter and Bagent may still be limited by the short preparation window.
- If Williams is unavailable, 38‑year‑old Case Keenum is the presumptive starter with undrafted rookie Miller Moss serving as the primary backup on the 53‑man roster.
- Coaches have prepared contingency plans that could use position players such as running back Roschon Johnson as emergency passers and the team cited limits on late additions because of playbook reps and roster rules.
