CHICAGO (AP) --- Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent has been placed in the
NFL concussion protocol, according to a person familiar with the situation,
adding another wrinkle to the team's plans for Monday night's game against
Philadelphia.
The person confirmed Bagent's status to The Associated Press on Tuesday on
condition of anonymity because the Bears hadn't released their first injury
report of the week.
Bagent was expected to take most of the first-team reps in practice after Caleb
Williams left Sunday's 9-3 loss to Minnesota with a right hamstring injury.
Coach Ben Johnson said Williams is "week to week," and he left open the
possibility that the No. 1 pick in the 2024 draft could play against the Eagles.
If Williams and Bagent are unable to play Monday night, the Bears likely would
turn to Case Keenum. The 38-year-old Keenum has 66 career starts, but he hasn't
thrown a pass in a regular-season game since Dec. 24, 2023, for Houston against
Cleveland.
Bagent was 5 for 9 for 54 yards against the Vikings. He was sacked by Dallas
Turner on the final play of the game.
Bagent, 26, had a record-setting career at Division II Shepherd University
before signing with the Bears in May 2023 as an undrafted free agent.
He made four starts while appearing in five games as rookie, passing for 859
yards and three touchdowns with six interceptions. He signed a two-year
contract extension in August 2025.
