Ben Johnson confirms Chicago Bears’ Week 5 quarterback plan vs. Packers
Leading into the Chicago Bears’ Week 4 matchup against the New York Jets, there was plenty of quarterback controversy. For their Week 5 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, head coach Ben Johnson isn’t playing any mind games.
Tyson Bagent will be under center once again, via ESPN-1000, h/t Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune. The head coach is sticking to Chicago’s depth chart.
“Yeah, yeah, no. Tyson will be the guy,” Johnson said. “And we will go forward from there. We are in good shape.”
In his first start since 2023, although Case Keenum technically took the first snap, Bagent led the Bears to a 23-12 victory over the Jets. He completed 25-of-34 passes for 268 yards and an interception. While there are things to improve, Johnson came away impressed by the performance.
The fact he named Bagent the starter so early in week is another sign of the head coach’s confidence. But the quarterback will be entering Week 5 with lofty expectations on his shoulders. Especially since the Bears will be playing the Packers at Lambeau Field.
When will Caleb Williams return to Chicago Bears?
Naming Bagent the starter on Monday allows the offense to go through a week of practice without any questions. The first-team offense is well aware of who they’ll be catching passing from. Furthermore, Bagent should be fully prepared mentally for the starting assignment.
But Johnson’s declaration does raise some questions about Caleb Williams’ timeline. He has already missed two games and is now poised to miss a third. The Bears didn’t place him on injured reserve, meaning they felt he wouldn’t miss four+ games with his hamstring strain. Does that decision roll out the red carpet for a Week 6 return?
That question will partially be determined by Chicago’s practice reports. The Bears want to at least see Williams return to practice before trotting him out in a game. Even if he practices leading up to Week 5, the franchise wants to be cautious about their superstar’s return.
For now, Johnson seems likely to continue riding with Bagent. Once fully healthy, the Bears will look for Williams to be an offensive dynamo once more.
