Eagles set to face Bears as Chicago looks to start Case Keenum amid quarterback injuries
The Philadelphia Eagles will play the Chicago Bears in Week 3, with the Bears likely starting Case Keenum after injuries to Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent. Both teams aim to improve after narrow wins and a loss in the opening weeks.
Philadelphia will host Chicago in the third week of the NFL season. The Bears are expected to start veteran quarterback Case Keenum after rookie Caleb Williams was ruled out and backup Tyson Bagent missed practice because of a concussion.
Chicago’s game plan last season relied heavily on its running attack, and the team hopes to repeat that approach against the Eagles. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s unit will need to contain the Eagles’ pass rush, which could be bolstered by the possible return of defensive end Jonathan Greenard, though his participation may be limited.
The Eagles, coming off two narrow victories, are looking to solidify a defense that has been described as a preseason contender. Their defensive line has faced criticism, and the team aims to improve its performance against the Bears’ running game.
Both coaches are under pressure to deliver results, with the Bears seeking to rebound from a recent loss and the Eagles aiming to maintain their early-season momentum.
