Case Keenum may start for Bears vs Eagles as Bagent in protocol
Bears QB Tyson Bagent is in the NFL concussion protocol and Caleb Williams has a hamstring injury, so 38-year-old Case Keenum could start against the Eagles.
Case Keenum may start at quarterback for the Chicago Bears in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles, with Caleb Williams hurt and Tyson Bagent in the NFL concussion protocol.
He completed 5 of 9 passes for 54 yards and was sacked on the final play by Vikings linebacker Dallas Turner. The Bears play the Eagles on Monday, which gives Bagent an extra day to clear the protocol.
Williams hurt his hamstring in the same game. As reported on 21 September, an MRI on Monday was due to show whether it is a Grade 1 strain and whether he misses the Eagles game.
Keenum is 38 and in his second season in Chicago, where he mainly works as an extra coach for the quarterbacks. He has not started or thrown a pass in the regular season since 2023, when he was with the Houston Texans. Across 11 NFL seasons he has made 66 starts, only four of them since 2020, and has thrown for 15,175 yards, 79 touchdowns and 51 interceptions.
