Bears Likely to Start Bagent vs Jets

Signs point to Tyson Bagent starting for the Chicago Bears against the New York Jets as Caleb Williams continues to recover from a hamstring injury.

Despite coach Ben Johnson's attempts to keep the Bears' quarterback plans secret, Tyson Bagent has been taking first-team reps in practice, suggesting he'll start against the Jets. Bagent, who nearly pulled off a last-second win in Week 2 against the Vikings, earned the backup role over Case Keenum.

Williams, the Bears' starter, continues to recover from a hamstring injury. Keenum started last week against the Eagles because Bagent was in concussion protocol at the time. chickenroadslot.pro
