Chicago will start its third different quarterback of the season against the New York Jets following a series of injuries.
The Chicago Bears are set to start quarterback Tyson Bagent in their Week 4 matchup against the New York Jets, as Sportsnet first reported, citing reporting from The Athletic's Dan Wiederer.
Bagent's start marks the third different quarterback to lead the Chicago offense through the first four weeks of the season. Bagent previously entered the game in relief during Week 2 after Caleb Williams suffered a hamstring injury. He was unavailable for the Bears' Monday night contest against Philadelphia in Week 3 because he remained in concussion protocol.
Veteran Case Keenum, who guided Chicago to a 27-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, will serve as the backup for Bagent on Sunday.
Bagent has not started a game for the Bears since the 2023 season. During that campaign, he made four starts and appeared in five games total, finishing with a 2-2 record while recording three touchdowns and six interceptions.
