Bears' Ben Johnson: 'Direction already made' on Week 4 QB call
Key Points:
- Bears coach Ben Johnson confirmed the team has decided on the quarterback direction for Week 4 but will announce the starter only on game day against the New York Jets.
- Case Keenum, who led the Bears to a 27-7 win over the Eagles with 247 yards and three touchdowns, remains a strong candidate, while Tyson Bagent, the No. 2 quarterback, is also under consideration after recovering from a concussion.
- Starting quarterback Caleb Williams is sidelined with a Grade 2 hamstring strain expected to keep him out 3-4 weeks, and he did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough.
- Johnson emphasized the decision will focus on which quarterback gives the Bears the best chance to win, with evaluations continuing through Thursday and Friday practices.
