Caleb Williams Hurt, Tyson Bagent Set to Start for Bears Against Eagles

Bears quarterback Caleb Williams left Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Vikings with a right hamstring strain, putting backup Tyson Bagent in line for his first start since November 2023 when Chicago hosts the Eagles. Head coach Ben Johnson says he will adjust the offense around Bagent's strengths, calling him an elite backup. Bagent, who filled in for Justin Fields in 2023 with mixed results, says he is more advanced now, and teammates expressed confidence in his ability to run the offense.
