Tyson Bagent (illness) is questionable for the Bears game against the Browns on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Bagent is a late addition to the injury report with a sickness that has popped up over the weekend. If he’s active he will be the primary backup for Caleb Williams. If not, those duties fall on Case Keenum.

Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent signed a two-year extension worth $10 million, $16 million with incentives, keeping him in town through 2027.

Fantasy Impact

Bagent, an undrafted rookie free agent, is eligible to sign his extension after just two seasons in the NFL. In his rookie year, he started four games, going 2-2 and throwing for 859 yards. After starting his career on a three-year, $2.72 million deal, he earns his first big pro payday as Caleb Williams' backup.

Tyson Bagent completed 7-of-8 pass attempts for 87 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing once for 10 yards in the Bears' 27-3 win over the Bengals.

Fantasy Impact

Bagent impressed in relief of 2024 No.1 overall pick Caleb Williams Saturday, leading Chicago on two scoring drives as part of a dominant team effort. The signal-caller will look to translate his preseason performance into solidifying his role as the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart behind Williams as the regular season approaches.

The Bears will start Tyson Bagent at QB in Thursday’s HOF game.

Fantasy Impact

Bagent and the rest of the Bears’ second string will start Thursday’s game against Houston. Caleb Williams and the rest of the Bears’ starters will sit out.
