Bears expect Tyson Bagent to start against Jets as Caleb Williams is out

The Chicago Bears plan to start quarterback Tyson Bagent for their home game against the New York Jets on Sunday, October 8. Caleb Williams remains sidelined with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, marking his second consecutive game out. Bagent, who had been recovering from a concussion, took most of the first-team reps in practice this week. His predecessor, Case Keenum, led the Bears to a 27-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles last Monday night but is not expected to start. Williams suffered his injury during a scramble against the Minnesota Vikings on September 20, with recovery anticipated to take three to four weeks. The Bears enter the weekend at 2-1, while the Jets are at 1-2 after their recent loss to the Detroit Lions.
