QB Tyson Bagent will start for Bears vs. Packers in Week 5, Ben Johnson says
The Chicago Bears' starting quarterback was unavailable for a game against the Jets, so coach Ben Johnson initially kept secret whether backup Tyson Bagent or third-stringer Case Keenum would start. Keenum took the first snap but was replaced by Bagent after one play. Bagent had a mixed performance as the Bears led 13-3 at halftime. Johnson later said Bagent is expected to start the Bears' next game against the Packers.
