The Bears are heading into Week 4 against the Jets, and head coach Ben Johnson still isn’t ready to name a starting quarterback. This isn’t just a Tuesday thing, folks; after Tuesday’s uncertainty, nothing changed on Wednesday. Talk about keeping us on the edge of our seats!
Who’s Under Center? The Caleb Williams Question Lingers
Caleb Williams won’t be taking part in the team’s walkthrough today, but Johnson made it clear his hamstring is “getting better every single day.” And crucially, Williams has *not* been ruled out for Sunday’s game. So, we’ve got a situation where the guy everyone expects to start is still a question mark, but also not totally off the table. What a tightrope walk!
Three Guys, One Spot: Johnson’s QB Confidence
While Williams’ status hangs in the air, the Bears aren’t short on options. Case Keenum stepped up and started in their win over the Eagles, showing he’s ready to go. And get this: Tyson Bagent is back and cleared from concussion protocol, so he’s available too! When Johnson talked about the decision, he was absolutely direct: the quarterback choice will be “whoever we think gives us the best chance to win.” He’s got serious faith in the whole room, telling reporters, “It’s not hard for me at all. I feel really good about all three quarterbacks in that room. I know all three of them can win games for us.” That’s the kind of confidence you love to hear from a coach, especially with so much on the line.
Johnson is set to speak to the media again on Friday, and that’s when we might finally get some clarity on who’s leading the charge against the Jets this Sunday. Until then, it’s a waiting game to see which signal-caller Johnson believes can truly get them a W.
