Eagles-Bears Preview Centers on Chicago Quarterback Uncertainty
The Philadelphia Eagles were scheduled to visit the Chicago Bears on Monday night, September 28, in a Week 3 game at Soldier Field, with kickoff set for 8:15 p.m. ET and broadcasts listed on ESPN and ABC. The supplied reports preview the matchup but do not provide a final score or confirm that the game was played. Chicago’s quarterback availability was a central uncertainty heading into the scheduled game. One preview said the Bears would start their third-string quarterback. Another reported that the team had confirmed Caleb Williams would be unavailable because of an injury and that backup Tyson Bagent’s status remained uncertain because of a concussion. The accounts do not establish who ultimately started, and no team announcement or game record was included in the material reviewed. The Eagles entered the matchup with a reported 2-0 record after narrow wins over Washington and Tennessee. In the first game, a stop on a two-point conversion attempt helped secure a 24-22 victory, according to one preview. Philadelphia then beat Tennessee after a late touchdown, though the report said a field goal could have tied the game.
