Bears’ Bagent Enters Concussion Protocol, Eagles Availability Unclear
16 sourcesUpdated Sep 22, 2026
Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent has entered the NFL’s concussion protocol, putting his availability for Monday night’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles in doubt. Starting quarterback Caleb Williams is already considered week-to-week with a hamstring injury suffered in Sunday’s 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, though coach Ben Johnson said the MRI results were somewhat encouraging and has not ruled him out. Bagent replaced Williams against Minnesota, completing 5 of 9 passes for 54 yards, and may have sustained the concussion on a late-game sack. If neither quarterback can play, veteran Case Keenum could make his first regular-season appearance since 2023, with practice-squad quarterback Miller Moss potentially serving as the backup.
