Bears' Case Keenum: Emergency QB for Week 2
Keenum (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Bears' emergency third quarterback against the Vikings on Sunday.
Tyson Bagent was inactive for Week 1 against the Panthers but has been cleared to play for Week 2, so he'll serve as the Bears' backup quarterback for Caleb Williams while Keenum serves as the emergency QB3. As such, Keenum is prohibited from playing in Sunday's game unless both Williams and Bagent were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Keenum served as the third-string quarterback behind Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent in 2025. That role isn't expected to change in 2026, but Chicago values the 38-year-old Keenum's experience and will keep Keenum aboard as a mentor to Williams.

Keenum will back up Caleb Williams at quarterback in Week 15, as Tyson Bagent is inactive due to an illness, Mark Carman of the CHGO Bears podcast reports.
Keenum has regularly served as Chicago's emergency third QB this season, but he'll bump up to the No. 2 role with Bagent unable to suit up. Keenum has plenty of pro experience in case he needs to enter the contest, but he hasn't thrown an NFL regular-season pass since 2023.

Bears' Case Keenum: Secures roster spot
Bears head coach Ben Johnson said Keenum (leg) will be one of three quarterbacks on Chicago's initial 53-man roster, behind starter Caleb Williams and newly extended backup Tyson Bagent, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.
