Ben Johnson praises Case Keenum, doesn't say who Bears' starting QB will be next week

Following a Monday evening victory against the Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson heaped praise on third-string signal-caller Case Keenum for steering an efficient aerial attack when the rushing game stalled. Keenum received the nod under center because Caleb Williams was sidelined with a hamstring issue and backup Tyson Bagent remained limited by the league concussion protocol for the majority of the week.

Although Bagent served as the active second-string option during the contest, Johnson declined to name his starter for the upcoming Sunday matchup against the New York Jets, indicating that the coaching staff will deliberate before making a final decision.
