Bagent (illness) was a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

EDGE Analysis

Bagent was unable to serve as Caleb Williams' backup quarterback during Sunday's win over the Browns due to an illness. By working in full Tuesday, Bagent is on track to be available against the Packers on Saturday, so Case Keenum will likely revert to the QB3 role.

Bagent is inactive for Sunday's Week 15 matchup against Cleveland due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Bagent was added to the injury report early Sunday because of the illness, and Mark Carman of the CHGO Bears podcast indicates Chicago decided to send the quarterback home. As such, Case Keenum will serve as the Bears' backup QB behind Caleb Williams on Sunday.

The Bears added Bagent to the injury report and list him as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Bagent has served as the Bears' No. 2 quarterback throughout the season, but if the ailment prevents him from suiting up Sunday, Case Keenum would step in as the top backup to starter Caleb Williams.

Bagent completed his only pass for 20 yards in the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bagent handled mop-up duty and remains a clear backup to Caleb Williams. He holds no fantasy value in single-QB formats.

Bagent completed two of three passes for 27 yards along with two rushes for seven yards in the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bagent was in for mop-up duty in a game the Bears were blown out. The veteran is only expected to see time in blowouts, or if Caleb Williams misses time.

Bagent agreed to terms Wednesday on a two-year, $10 million contract extension with the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bagent has clearly impressed new head coach Ben Johnson throughout training camp and the preseason, and the commitment of a new two-year contract is a concrete indication that he's beaten out Case Keenum (leg) for the No. 2 quarterback role behind Caleb Williams. Across two preseason appearances thus far, Bagent has completed 26 of 41 pass attempts for 299 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception. His final chance to log exhibition reps before Week 1 will come Friday on the road against Kansas City.

Bagent and Case Keenum will compete for the backup quarterback job behind Caleb Williams during training camp and the preseason, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bagent worked with the third-string skill players during Wednesday's practice, but Cronin relays that the third-year quarterback will likely swap with Keenum and serve as the QB2 on Thursday. After starting in five games in 2023, Bagent spent the entire 2024 campaign as Chicago's backup behind Williams, with the former playing 13 snaps across four regular-season games.

Bagent appeared in four games for the Bears in 2024, playing 13 snaps and completing two of two passes for 11 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Bagent had a five-game stretch as the starting quarterback in 2023 for Chicago, completing 65.7 percent of his passes with a 3:6 TD:INT. Unless the Bears bring in competition, he should remain Caleb Williams' backup. Bagent will be entering the last year of his contract in 2025.

Bagent played four snaps and completed his lone pass attempt for a six-yard gain in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year quarterback made his third appearance of the season Sunday, with all having come at the tail end of blowout wins or losses with starter Caleb Williams having thus far enjoyed good health during his rookie campaign. Even with the 4-9 Bears on the cusp of being eliminated from playoff contention, don't expect Bagent to get any starts over the final four contests while Chicago remains committed to Williams as its present and long-term solution under center.

Bagent started the Bears' 21-17 preseason win over the Texans on Thursday, completing two of three passes for 16 yards.

EDGE Analysis

As his modest final line implies, Bagent, who's thought to have the inside track to the No. 2 job, made only a cameo appearance. The second-year pro played on the Bears' first possession and recorded his two completions to Roschon Johnson and Stephen Carlson. Brett Rypien, Bagent's competition to serve as the primary backup to first overall pick Caleb Williams, saw the bulk of playing time in the weather-shortened game and excelled in a three-touchdown performance, so Bagent will likely have to perform well in any more extensive action he may see the remainder of preseason to ensure he keeps his presumptive lead in the job battle.
