Because tyson Bagent is the Bears ’ QB2 on the depth chart, a job he earned in the offseason, case Keenum is not starting today.
As per SI , Williams is still recovering from a Grade 2 hamstring strain that he got in Week 2. Case Keenum started in Week 3 and was sensational in the win over the Philadelphia Eagles. In Week 4, it was unofficially Tyson Bagent.
Because of this, a backup quarterback has started in each of the last two weeks. The Chicago Bears are using a backup quarterback again this week, as Caleb Williams has been ruled out.
Because head coach Ben Johnson gave Keenum the first snap under center, it was ‘unofficial’. This officially made Keenum the starter and got him the win. After that snap, Bagent, who was lined up out wide, played quarterback for the rest of the game, as per SI.
