Bears Set Bagent as QB Against Jets

Signs point to Tyson Bagent starting for the Bears against the Jets in Week 4 as Caleb Williams continues to recover from a hamstring injury.

Coach Ben Johnson is keeping the quarterback plans under wraps, but Bagent has received first-team reps in practice this week, suggesting he'll get the nod over Case Keenum. Bagent earned the backup role after nearly pulling off a last-second win against the Vikings in Week 2.

Williams, the Bears' starter, remains sidelined with a hamstring injury. Keumen started Monday's game against the Eagles only because Bagent was in concussion protocol at the time. amunra.help
