Keenum to Start at Quarterback for Bears Against Undefeated Eagles

Case Keenum will start at quarterback for the Chicago Bears when they face the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, September 28. This marks Keenum's first NFL start since 2023.

The Bears' starting quarterback, Caleb Williams, is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks after suffering a Grade 2 hamstring strain last week. His backup, Tyson Bagent, who was in concussion protocol at the end of Week 2, has returned to practice but will remain as the backup. Keenum will lead the offense as the third-stringer against the Eagles.

The Eagles enter the Week 3 matchup with an unblemished 3-0 record. Last week, they secured a victory against the Tennessee Titans with a late touchdown pass from Jalen Hurts to DeVonta Smith. The Bears, meanwhile, are looking to rebound from a 9-3 loss to the Titans.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET at Soldier Field in Chicago. Fans can watch the game on ESPN and ABC. For those without cable, the game can be streamed for free via a five-day trial of DIRECTV's MySports genre pack, which includes ESPN and ABC.
