Bears QB Benching: Bagent Replaced by Keenum
12 Oct
Summary
- Tyson Bagent was benched during the loss to the Packers.
- Coach Johnson sought a spark after Bagent's second interception.
- Caleb Williams may return next week if cleared from injury.
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson benched starting quarterback Tyson Bagent during their recent game against the Green Bay Packers.
Johnson made the decision after Bagent threw his second interception late in the third quarter. The coach explained that Bagent struggled to find a rhythm throughout the game and the team sought a "spark" from a new player.
Case Keenum entered the game in the fourth quarter to replace Bagent, though the outcome of the game was not altered. The Bears are closely monitoring the hamstring injury of their primary quarterback, Caleb Williams.
Williams may be cleared to play in the upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons. If he is not cleared, the coaching staff will deliberate between Bagent and Keenum for the starting role.
