Case Keenum reportedly expected to start for Bears with Caleb Williams out and Tyson Bagent recovering from concussion

With Williams sidelined for Monday's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles , all eyes were initially turned to backup Tyson Bagent , who came on in relief of Williams in Week 2, but couldn't complete the comeback.

Instead, it will be veteran Case Keenum who gets the start for the Bears on "Monday Night Football," per NFL Network.

While Bagent was the logical choice to step into the starting role after Williams' injury, the backup was dealing with a concussion that kept him from practicing early in the week. Bagent cleared the NFL's concussion protocol Saturday and was able to get in a full practice, opening the door for him to potentially draw the start against the Eagles.
