Bears' Tyson Bagent: Plays first half in preseason opener
Bagent completed 13 of 22 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Saturday's 34-10 preseason win over the Browns. He added seven yards on his lone carry.
Caleb Williams got the day off in the Bears' preseason opener, and Bagent played the entire first half while leading two scoring drives, the first of which ended in a 25-yard TD toss to depth wideout Maurice Alexander in the second quarter. Bagent remains ahead of Case Keenum, who took over to begin the second half, on the QB depth chart, but it would take an injury to Williams for either to see meaningful action in 2026.

Bears' Tyson Bagent: Subject of trade chatter
Bears GM Ryan Poles said Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine that teams have called about the availability of Bagent via trade this offseason, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Bagent was signed by the Bears as an undrafted free agent out of Shepherd in 2023 and started four games as a rookie, completing 94 of 143 passes for 859 yards, three touchdowns and six interceptions across five total appearances. He's attempted just six regular-season passes over the last two campaigns but has looked good during the preseason when on the field. Bagent has two years remaining on his contract at $4 million each season, so he's very affordable and could be a stop-gap option for a rebuilding team.

Bears' Tyson Bagent: No longer under the weather
Bagent (illness) was a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Bagent was unable to serve as Caleb Williams' backup quarterback during Sunday's win over the Browns due to an illness. By working in full Tuesday, Bagent is on track to be available against the Packers on Saturday, so Case Keenum will likely revert to the QB3 role.

Bears' Tyson Bagent: Falls ill, iffy for Sunday
The Bears added Bagent to the injury report and list him as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns due to an illness.
Bagent has served as the Bears' No. 2 quarterback throughout the season, but if the ailment prevents him from suiting up Sunday, Case Keenum would step in as the top backup to starter Caleb Williams.

Bears' Tyson Bagent: Inks two-year extension
Bagent agreed to terms Wednesday on a two-year, $10 million contract extension with the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Bagent has clearly impressed new head coach Ben Johnson throughout training camp and the preseason, and the commitment of a new two-year contract is a concrete indication that he's beaten out Case Keenum (leg) for the No. 2 quarterback role behind Caleb Williams. Across two preseason appearances thus far, Bagent has completed 26 of 41 pass attempts for 299 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception. His final chance to log exhibition reps before Week 1 will come Friday on the road against Kansas City.
