The Chicago Bears are set to start Case Keenum at quarterback against the Philadelphia Eagles due to Caleb Williams' hamstring injury and Tyson Bagent's concussion protocol clearance but lack of preparation time. Williams is expected to miss three to four weeks with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, marking his first game absence since being drafted by the Bears in 2024. Bagent, who has started four NFL games as a rookie last year, was cleared Saturday but deemed unprepared for Monday’s game, leaving Keenum, who has extensive starting experience over his career, to take the helm.
