Case Keenum to start for the Eagles game as Tyson Bagent cleared but remains backup
Tyson Basset has been cleared of concussion symptoms but will not start, with veteran quarterback Case Keenum slated to lead the team against the Eagles.
Tyson Bagent has passed the league's concussion protocol, but coach has decided he will not start the upcoming Monday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Veteran quarterback Case Keenum will take the opening snaps, according to reports.
The decision stems from Bagent's limited involvement in the team's game-planning sessions, leaving him unprepared for a starter role. Should Keenum encounter difficulties during the contest, Bagent could be called upon as a relief quarterback.
Bagent remains the primary backup following the continued hamstring injury to starter Caleb Williams. He previously helped the team rally late in a loss to the Minnesota Vikings after Williams exited the game.
