ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio reports “as we hear it, Tyson Bagent has gotten the first-team reps so far this week.”
While head coach Ben Johnson will do his best to keep his QB1 for Week 4’s game against the Jets under wraps, it’s hard to slip things past all the reporters who are present during the media portion of practice. With reports that Bagent, who is listed as the Bears’ QB2 on the depth chart, is taking first-team reps, it’s safe to assume things are trending toward him making the start this week. We may not get a clear answer from the team on who the starter will be until kickoff, which makes both Bagent and Case Keenum hard to trust for fantasy managers who may have been considering them in 2QB/Superflex leagues.
