The Aporia · Case Keenum starts at quarterback for the Bears against the Eagles

Case Keenum started as quarterback for the Chicago Bears against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, marking his first regular-season appearance since December 24, 2023. This decision came after Caleb Williams was ruled out due to a right hamstring injury. Coach Ben Johnson chose between Keenum and Tyson Bagent, who had just cleared concussion protocol but saw limited action in a recent loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Keenum, now 38 years old, has a career record of 30-36 as a starter and joined the Bears in April 2025.
