Case Keenum, QB (CHI)

Emergency QB3 for Week 6

Keenum (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Bears' emergency third quarterback against the Falcons on Sunday.

With Caleb Williams (hamstring) officially cleared to return from a three-game absence, head coach Ben Johnson has opted to go with Tyson Bagent as the Bears' backup. As the emergency QB3, Keenum won't play against Atlanta on Sunday unless both Willams and Bagent leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
