Tyson Bagent ends practice with a long TD; will start for Bears on Saturday
Key Points:
- Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson announced that Caleb Williams and several starters will sit out Saturday’s preseason game against the Cleveland Browns, similar to last year’s approach.
- Tyson Bagent will start at quarterback, showing promise with a touchdown pass to Kaden Davis during practice, while backup QB Case Keenum also connected on a long touchdown to Ray-Ray McCloud.
- The left tackle position remains contested, with Kiran Amegadjie starting and rotating snaps with Jedrick Wills Jr., as the coaching staff continues to evaluate both players.
- Braxton Jones returned to limited practice and is expected to be more involved next week; meanwhile, several defensive players, including Cam Lewis and D’Marco Jackson, resumed practice, while others remained sidelined.
- Inclement weather forced the Bears to move practice indoors to the Walter Payton Center, keeping fans out of Halas Hall once again.
