Bears Likely Start Bagent vs Jets

Bears coach Ben Johnson is keeping the starting quarterback position a secret, but practice reports indicate Tyson Bagent has been taking first-team reps. Bagent, who nearly pulled off a last-second win in Week 2 against the Vikings, earned the backup role and appears to be the frontrunner to start in place of the injured Caleb Williams.

Case Keenum started the Monday night game against the Eagles because Bagent was in concussion protocol at the time. With Williams still sidelined, Johnson is using the uncertainty as a strategic advantage against Jets coordinator Aaron Glenn, who Johnson worked with when both were with the Lions. truewildslot.com
