What happened: Williams will miss his first professional start due to a right hamstring injury sustained against the Vikings. Bagent resumed on-field work after spending the week in concussion protocol.

Why it matters: Chicago must finalize its quarterback hierarchy for the prime-time slot. Third-string veteran Case Keenum handled first-team reps during the week to prepare for a potential start if Bagent remains uncleared.

By the numbers: Williams recorded 345 passing yards in his season debut before suffering the setback a week later.

What to watch: The Bears will set their active roster once independent neurologists evaluate Bagent before kickoff.
