Well, this is wild. Just when you thought the Chicago Bears had a feel-good story cooking, they’re reportedly pulling the rug out. Tyson Bagent is expected to be under center for them this Sunday against the New York Jets.

The Return of Bagent

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, with a shoutout to ESPN’s Courtney Cronin, reports that Bagent is back in the saddle. He’s reportedly cleared to go for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets, returning after suffering a concussion way back in Week 2. It’s good to see him back healthy, no doubt.

One Week Wonder: Keenum’s Upset

But here’s the kicker: this move means they’re sitting Case Keenum, who just led the Bears to a Week 3 upset win. An UPSET WIN! That was Keenum’s first start in three years, and he delivers a feel-good victory. You’d think that’d buy you another week, right? Apparently not when Bagent is cleared. It’s a tough break for Keenum after making the most of his opportunity.

So, get ready to see Bagent back on the field this Sunday against the Jets. It’ll be interesting to see how he performs after the concussion and what this means for the Bears’ quarterback situation moving forward. Keenum got his moment, but it looks like it’s Bagent’s show again.
