Tyson Bagent, quarterback for the Chicago Bears, has been cleared by the NFL's concussion protocol and could play in the team's upcoming Monday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The announcement was made on Sunday, removing any injury designation for Week 3. Bagent suffered a concussion during last weekend’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings but returned to practice on Saturday. He replaced Caleb Williams, who left with a right hamstring injury. Both Bagent and backup quarterback Case Keenum are expected to compete for the starting position, neither having started in a regular-season game since 2023.
