QB Tyson Bagent Expected to Start Against Packers Sunday, Bears Coach Ben Johnson Tells ESPN1000

On Monday, Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson announced that Tyson Bagent will start at quarterback for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. "Tyson will be the guy," Johnson said.
Starting quarterback Caleb Williams remains sidelined with a Grade 2 hamstring injury suffered during the Week 2 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, with doctors estimating a three to four-week recovery time.
Completing 25-of-34 passes for 268 yards and one interception, Bagent helped the Bears secure a 23-12 victory over the New York Jets last week in his first regular-season start.
The Bears have improved to 3-1 on the season, remaining undefeated at 2-0 since Williams went down with his injury two weeks ago.
Upcoming road visits to Atlanta and matchups against the Patriots on October 18 and 22 provide an opportunity to extend the winning streak to three games.
