Tyson Bagent completed 12-of-21 passes for 87 scoreless yards and two interceptions before being benched in the fourth quarter of the Bears’ 31-7, Week 5 loss to the Packers.

It was time. Bagent found himself on the pine for the entirely of the final frame. Before his removal, he had thrown two awful picks without coming particularly close to any noteworthy plays. Bagent lacks NFL caliber arm strength, and it is worth wondering if coach Ben Johnson would have stuck with Case Keenum for the duration of Caleb Williams’ absence had he not wanted to avoid the precedent that you can lose your job while concussed (Bagent missed Week 2 with the aforementioned head injury). It’s hopefully a moot point now, as Williams appears set to return from his hamstring issue in Week 6 against the Falcons. If it’s not Williams, it will almost certainly be Keenum. Bagent can be cut loose in superflex leagues.
