Bears Quarterback Caleb Williams Ruled Out Of Monday Night Game Against Eagles

Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has been ruled out of Chicago’s Monday-night game against the Eagles with a hamstring injury. Backup Tyson Bagent returned to practice Saturday after progressing through concussion protocol but still needs to meet the remaining requirements to be cleared to play. If Bagent is cleared, he is expected to start; otherwise, veteran Case Keenum is the fallback. Chicago also ruled out linebacker Noah Sewell and defensive lineman Shemar Turner, while cornerback Tyrique Stevenson is set to play.
Bagent must go consecutive days without symptoms after practicing before he is fully cleared from concussion protocol.
Bagent has a 2-2 career record as a starter, with all four starts coming in 2023. He also entered last week's game against Minnesota in relief of Williams and completed 5 of 9 passes for 54 yards in Chicago's 9-3 loss.
The Bears-Eagles game is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. CT Monday at Soldier Field; Chicago enters at 1-1, while Philadelphia is 2-0.
