The Bears’ quarterback situation just got seriously complicated, with both Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent estimated as non-participants during Thursday’s practice report. This isn’t good news for their top two signal-callers, and it pushes veteran Case Keenum straight into the starting role for Monday night.

Injuries Stack Up in the QB Room

Williams is dealing with a hamstring issue, which kept him off the field, while Bagent is sidelined with a concussion. With both QBs out, the Bears have a real problem on their hands. Keenum is set to take the reins, a move that changes everything for their upcoming prime-time game. It’s a tough break for the team as they prepare for a crucial matchup without their primary options.

More Injury Woes Across the Roster

The quarterback situation isn’t the only concern for the Bears. Running back Kyle Monangai (knee), kicker Cairo Santos (right hip), and cornerback Tyrique Stevenson (hamstring) were also estimated as non-participants on Thursday. On the limited side, linebacker Noah Sewell (Achilles) and defensive lineman Shemar Turner (knee) managed to get some work in. The team gets back to practice on Friday, so eyes will be on those reports to see if any progress is made.
