Bears backup Tyson Bagent practiced Saturday, but needs consecutive symptom-free days after practice for full concussion clearance. He could replace injured Caleb Williams against the Eagles on Monday; Case Keenum had looked likely to start.
The Eagles opened as 3.5-point road favorites. The spread widened to 4.5 after news that Bagent was in concussion protocol and has since returned to 3.5.
Windy City Gridiron described Bagent as a capable backup who can use his mobility and operate an offense efficiently, but lacks a strong arm and dynamic qualities. Its assessment was that Chicago's offense would take a significant hit without Williams, but would not be inoperable with Bagent.
