Tyson Bagent

Tyson Bagent enters Wild Card weekend as depth insurance for Chicago, with Caleb Williams locked in as the starter and Bagent healthy again after missing time with an illness in Week 15, when he was inactive against Cleveland. The Bears, 11-6 and hosting the rival Packers, know every snap matters in a win-or-go-home setting, and Bagent’s role as the primary backup is critical if anything happens to Williams, with Case Keenum designated as the emergency third quarterback. Green Bay–Chicago playoff clashes are rare but emotional, and tonight adds another chapter with divisional bragging rights and a shot to advance on the line. For now, HeyTC’s #48-ranked quarterback is a heartbeat away from the huddle, one play from becoming the story of the Bears’ postseason.
