What happened: Chicago opened with Case Keenum under center before turning to Tyson Bagent during the game. The one-play switch drew sharp criticism from Russell Wilson and Kyle Long toward head coach Ben Johnson.

Why it matters: The rotation spotlights unsettled quarterback plans with Caleb Williams sidelined. Keenum offers 14 seasons of experience while Bagent represents the younger developmental option. How Johnson distributes reps will shape preparation and locker-room clarity.

By the numbers: Keenum, out of Houston, is in his 14th NFL season. Bagent, out of Shepherd, is in his fourth season after completing 3 of 4 passes for 47 yards in 3 games in 2025.

What to watch: Watch who takes first-team reps in practice and who is listed as the starter ahead of kickoff.
