Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent missed practice on Wednesday due to a back injury. The backup quarterback is featured on the team's initial Week 1 injury report leading into the upcoming season. Bagent has been the subject of trade speculation throughout the offseason, with general manager Ryan Poles previously noting the organization has evaluated potential inquiries from other clubs.
