Bears Set to Start Bagent vs Jets

Signs point to Tyson Bagent starting for the Chicago Bears against the Jets on Sunday, with Caleb Williams still recovering from a hamstring injury.

Bears coach Ben Johnson is maintaining secrecy around the quarterback position, hoping to gain an advantage against the Jets. While Johnson has kept his plans largely quiet through two practice days, reports indicate Bagent has received first-team reps, suggesting he'll get the nod over Keenum. likesport.biz

Bagent earned the backup role after nearly pulling off a last-second win in Week 2 against the Vikings. Keenum started the Monday night game against the Eagles because Bagent was in concussion protocol at the time of preparation. Williams continues his recovery from a hamstring injury.
