Serving as No. 2 QB versus Browns Keenum will back up Caleb Williams at quarterback in Week 15, as Tyson Bagent is inactive due to an illness, Mark Carman of the CHGO Bears podcast reports.

Impact Keenum has regularly served as Chicago's emergency third QB this season, but he'll bump up to the No. 2 role with Bagent unable to suit up. Keenum has plenty of pro experience in case he needs to enter the contest, but he hasn't thrown an NFL regular-season pass since 2023.

Past leg injury Keenum (leg) was absent from the Bears' estimated injury report Thursday.

Impact Keenum missed the Bears' last two preseason games due to a leg injury. His absence from Thursday's injury report indicates that he is past the issue and is on track to serve as the Bears' QB3 behind Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent for Monday's regular-season opener against the Vikings at Soldier Field.

Impact Keenum, who picked up a leg injury mid-August and is reportedly considered day-to-day, appears in line to contribute as the Bears' emergency No. 3 quarterback this season. What the 37-year-old veteran brings to the table as a mentor for Williams and Bagent may, ultimately, be as valuable to Chicago as his ability to capably pilot the offense under center if needed.

Dealing with leg injury Keenum did not practice Friday due to a leg injury, Adam Jahns of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Keenum is considered day-to-day, per Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune, so while his injury isn't a long-term concern, it may prevent him from suiting up for Sunday's preseason game against the Bills. The veteran signal-caller is competing with Tyson Bagent for the No. 2 quarterback role behind Caleb Williams, and if he can't suit up versus Buffalo it will provide fourth-stringer Austin Reed a chance to handle increased reps.

Returns from active/NFI list The Bears activated Keenum (undisclosed) from the active/non-football injury list Sunday.

Impact Keenum was one of a few players added that Chicago placed on the active/NFI list Saturday. It's unclear what issue the 37-year-old was dealing with, but it won't keep him from hitting the practice field as the Bears open training camp Tuesday. Keenum joined the team on a one-year contract in April, and, while he'll likely compete with Tyson Bagent for the No. 2 quarterback role, his primary contribution should come as a mentor for Caleb Williams as he enters his second season as a starter.

Impact Once he's ready to start practicing again, the quarterback can return from the active/NFI list at any time during training camp and the preseason. Keenum signed a one-year deal with the Bears in April after missing the 2024 season with a foot injury. The veteran, who has made 66 career regular-season starts and two playoff starts, might be able to compete with Tyson Bagent for the backup job to Caleb Williams.
