What happened: Ben Johnson said Chicago has settled its quarterback direction for Week 4. The starter stays private for now via Courtney Cronin.

Why it matters: Chicago is navigating a week-to-week hamstring pull for Caleb Williams. Case Keenum started under the contingency plan after 1,009 days off the field, leaving Week 4 prep in flux.

What to watch: Chicago's next practice report and game-day designation will settle the call.
