Tyson Bagent Expected to Start for Bears Against Jets

Bears coach Ben Johnson appears set to start Tyson Bagent at quarterback against the Jets with Caleb Williams still sidelined by a hamstring injury.

Despite Johnson's attempts to keep the Bears' quarterback plans secret, sources indicate Bagent has received first-team reps in practice this week. This points to Bagent starting in place of Williams, who continues to recover from a hamstring injury.

Bagent, who earned the backup role, nearly pulled off a last-second win in Week 2 against the Vikings when he entered in the fourth quarter. Case Keenum started Monday night against the Eagles because Bagent was in concussion protocol at the time, but with both Williams and Bagent now healthy, Bagent appears to be Johnson's choice to face the Jets. bettingx.club
