Williams has not been ruled out to play Monday against the Philadelphia Eagles after he was injured on a fourth-quarter scramble near the goal line this past weekend. He is currently listed as “week-to-week” by head coach Ben Johnson.

If Bagent and Williams are unable to play against the Eagles, Chicago’s third-string quarterback is 38-year-old Case Keenum, who has not played in a game since 2023 and has made just four starts since 2020.

Chicago fell 9-3 at home to the Minnesota Vikings and dropped to 1-1 on the season after scoring 59 points in a Week 1 victory over the Carolina Panthers.
