Bears coach says Week 4 quarterback starter not decided
Head coach Ben Johnson indicated the Chicago Bears will decide the Week 4 starting quarterback later in the week, as injuries keep both Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent out of practice.
Chicago head coach Ben Johnson told FOX’s pre-game show that the team will determine the Week 4 quarterback later in the week. > "we'll see how it plays out all week," Johnson said when asked about the starter. The Bears entered their recent game against the Eagles with Case Keenum under center, completing a 41-yard touchdown pass to Kalif Raymond and adding a short rushing score. Keenum avoided turnovers despite three risky throws and helped Chicago improve to a 2-1 record. Both backup quarterbacks remain unavailable: Caleb Williams is dealing with a hamstring injury that could keep him out for several weeks, and Tyson Bagent is undergoing the league’s concussion protocol and has not been cleared to practice. Neither player is listed as active for the upcoming matchup, leaving Keenum as the likely starter for Monday Night Football. If Bagent becomes eligible after his concussion evaluation, he could be considered for a relief role or a potential start in Week 4 against the New York Jets, but Johnson emphasized that the decision will be made after the team’s full week of preparation.
