Bears name Tyson Bagent starter for Week 4 clash with Jets
Chicago head coach Ben Johnson said on October 3 that the Bears’ quarterback for the September 21 Week 4 matchup against the New York Jets has been decided, though he did not disclose the starter. Reports from NBC Sports and theScore indicated the team is expected to start rookie Tyson Bagent, with Caleb Williams still recovering from a hamstring strain. The decision follows a week of quarterback turmoil; the Bears entered Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles without starter Caleb Williams and considered Case Keenum, who ultimately started and led Chicago to a 27-7 victory on Night Football, as detailed by Bleeding Green Nation.
