Overview
- The Bears ruled Caleb Williams out for Monday night with a hamstring and chose not to place him on injured reserve, a move that signals the team expects a return within about four weeks.
- Veteran Case Keenum will start under center after taking most first-team reps this week and Tyson Bagent is active as the backup after clearing concussion protocol.
- The Eagles elevated former All‑Pro tight end Zach Ertz from the practice squad after Dallas Goedert was sidelined with a sprained MCL to provide an experienced pass target.
- Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts was removed for a concussion evaluation in the second quarter, missed four plays, and was cleared to return with Andy Dalton briefly replacing him and throwing an interception.
- At halftime the Bears led 10-7 and pregame markets had the Eagles as roughly 3–4 point favorites with a low-40s total, underscoring how injuries and short-term roster moves have altered strategy and expectations.
