The Bear’s Den: Bagent to start against Green Bay Packers, more news

The Chicago Bears will welcome the Green Bay Packers to Soldier Field this Sunday, with a key rotation at quarterback. Tyson Bagent, who has been waiting for a starting opportunity, will take the field after a strong performance in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, the Bears' offense faces further setbacks with running back Kyle Monangai listed as day-to-day following a hand injury sustained in last week’s win over the New York Jets, while star wide receiver Caleb Williams remains out with a hamstring issue and will not practice this week. The Packers, meanwhile, will be without defensive standout Micah Parsons, who will not practice and is expected to miss the game after recovering from a season-ending injury.

Chicago head coach Ben Johnson’s team will also address roster changes, having released practice squad player Marcus Davenport, while trade speculation swirls around former Bears linebacker Khalil Mack, who could return to the franchise. The Bears’ backups have stepped up in recent weeks, adding depth to an offense already among the NFL’s most productive despite red zone struggles.

Officiating news also impacts the matchup, as referee Adrian Hill and line judge Jeff Seeman have been suspended for unprofessional conduct toward players, with Hill missing one game and Seeman out for two.
