Eagles vs Bears: Case Keenum Expected to Start for Chicago on Monday Night Football
The Chicago Bears host the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football at Soldier Field, with Case Keenum expected to start at quarterback for Chicago. The game is available on ESPN and ABC in the US, with streaming options in the UK, Australia and Canada.
For Chicago, TechRadar described the quarterback situation as a worst-case scenario. Keenum is expected to take the reins, and it would be his first NFL action since December 2023, when he was pulled after throwing a quick pair of interceptions. Caleb Williams is out with a hamstring injury, and Tyson Bagent is expected to be kept in reserve despite clearing the concussion protocol, according to the report. Ben Johnson and Press Taylor are expected to lean heavily on D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, who have combined for four touchdowns and 316 yards. TechRadar noted that the Week 1 trouncing of the Panthers accounts for most of those figures, but Chicago still has the best rushing stats in the NFL.
The Eagles have started the 2026 season with two straight wins, but TechRadar reported that they have not looked especially convincing. Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley have struggled behind an under-par offensive line, while Philadelphia's defense has conceded 127 yards per game on the ground, the eighth-worst figure in the league. The victories over the struggling Commanders and Titans were messy and owed much to moments of real class from Hurts, who has connected well with DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks. The absence of Dallas Goedert is a concern.
