Overview

• Undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent is set to start his third game for the Chicago Bears due to Justin Fields' ongoing recovery from a thumb injury.
• Bagent's performance in his second game was challenging, with the rookie throwing three interceptions, no touchdowns and achieving a QBR of 23.0 in a 30-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
• In the past, Bagent has demonstrated a strong ability to bounce back, leading Shepherd to eight straight wins after a tough loss in college where he set a school record with 41 completions but threw two costly interceptions.
• Bagent, chosen despite coming from a D-II school, faced national attention after helping lead the Bears to a victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in his first NFL start.
• Coach Matt Eberflus confirmed that Fields is improving and remains 'week to week'. Fields will return as the starter once he is healthy.
