Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams faces growing doubts about his readiness to return for Week 3, according to NFL insiders. The team’s quarterback, who has been sidelined since suffering a shoulder injury in Week 1, remains uncertain to play. Two NFL analysts have expressed pessimism about his return, citing ongoing recovery challenges.
Meanwhile, backup quarterback Tyson Bagent has been placed in the NFL concussion protocol, according to an anonymous source. This adds to the Bears’ quarterback concerns as they prepare for their next game. Bagent’s placement comes after a recent play that raised questions about his health.
The team is now relying on third-string quarterback Justin Fields, who has seen limited action this season. With both starting quarterbacks sidelined, the Bears face a challenging week ahead. The situation highlights the depth of injury concerns within the team’s offense.
The Bears’ coaching staff has not yet confirmed a timeline for either player’s return, leaving fans and analysts waiting for further updates. The uncertainty surrounding the quarterback position continues to impact the team’s strategic planning for the upcoming game.
