Case Keenum to start for Bears in Week 3 Monday Night Football game
The Chicago Bears will start 38-year-old third-string quarterback Case Keenum against the Philadelphia Eagles after Caleb Williams was sidelined with a hamstring injury.
The Chicago Bears announced that veteran quarterback Case Keenum will start in the Week 3 Monday Night Football matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles, filling in for injured rookie Caleb Williams. Keenum, 38, is listed as the third-string quarterback and has not started a game or thrown a pass in the NFL since the 2023 season.
Fans took notice of Keenum’s arrival at Soldier Field, commenting on his casual attire and the everyday appearance that reminded many of a typical dad. Some observers noted his simple clothing and a paper bag he was carrying, speculating it might contain a packed lunch.
The decision comes as the Bears seek stability on offense, with Keenum now joining his eighth NFL team in a 14-year career. Analysts and fans alike are curious about how quickly he can adapt to the starting role after a long period without game action.
