Springfield Holyoke, MA, September 22, 2026 —

Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent has been placed in the National Football League’s concussion protocol, according to a source speaking with the Associated Press.

This development affects the team’s quarterbacking depth and availability as they prepare for an upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The specific details surrounding when or how Bagent sustained the injury were not immediately available, nor was information regarding his current condition beyond entering the protocol.

The concussion protocol is a multi-stage process designed to ensure player safety, requiring players to pass a series of medical evaluations before being cleared to return to play. The duration of a player’s absence can vary significantly depending on the severity of the concussion and their individual recovery timeline.

Bagent, an undrafted rookie from Shepherd University, has been a notable figure for the Bears this season, stepping into a significant role due to injuries to other quarterbacks on the roster. His performance has provided an unexpected storyline for the team.

The team’s quarterback situation for the game against Philadelphia now becomes a key point of focus. The status of other quarterbacks on the roster, including any potential starter or backup options, will be closely watched in the lead-up to the matchup. The Chicago Bears organization has not yet issued an official statement regarding Bagent’s status.

Further updates are expected as the team navigates this situation and progresses through the week’s preparations. The source of the information was identified as being affiliated with the Associated Press.
