Quick Summary

The Chicago Bears are facing a quarterback crisis as backup Tyson Bagent enters the NFL’s concussion protocol. With Caleb Williams possibly out for Week 3, third-string quarterback Case Keenum, signed this offseason at age 38, is now in line to start against the Philadelphia Eagles. Keenum has had an extensive career since going undrafted in 2012, including playing a key role in the Vikings’ playoff win over the Saints in 2018 with his "Minneapolis Miracle" touchdown pass.
