Caleb Williams to miss Bears' Week 5 rivalry game against Packers, Tyson Bagent set for second start

Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams will miss the Week 5 showdown with the Green Bay Packers as he continues to recover from a hamstring strain that sidelined him since the Week 2 loss to Minnesota. Coach Ben Johnson announced that backup Tyson Bagent will start, giving him his second consecutive start after a 23‑12 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday.

Bagent completed 25 of 34 passes for 268 yards against the Jets, threw one interception and did not score a touchdown, while running back Kyle Monangai accounted for both ground scores. Third‑string quarterback Case Keenum had filled in during Bagent’s concussion protocol stint in Week 3, but Johnson returned to Bagent now that he is cleared.
