Tyson Bagent Expected to Start for Bears in Week Four Against Jets

Tyson Bagent is expected to start at quarterback for the Chicago Bears in Week 4 against the New York Jets, according to Yahoo Sports. Coach Ben Johnson has not officially named a starter, but all signs point to Bagent taking the field Sunday. The move comes as the Bears navigate injuries in their quarterback room heading into a crucial divisional matchup.
Case Keenum led the Bears to a dominant 27-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in their last game, passing for 247 yards and accounting for three touchdowns, according to KFGO. Despite Keenum's impressive showing, the Bears are moving forward with Bagent as their starter for Week 4. The decision signals a shift in the quarterback rotation as Chicago prepares for the Jets.
The Chicago Bears face significant depth concerns at quarterback heading into Sunday's game, according to RealGM. Caleb Williams, the team's top pick, is sidelined with a Grade 2 hamstring strain and is expected to miss another game. These injuries have forced the Bears to lean on depth options like Bagent to keep their offense running.
Tyson Bagent had been dealing with a concussion in recent weeks, per Freedom 96.9, but appears ready to return to action Sunday against New York. His return to the starting lineup comes at a critical time for the Bears as they deal with injuries to other quarterbacks. The Week 4 matchup against the Jets will be Bagent's first significant test back from the injury.
