Ben Johnson discusses confidence in Bears QB Tyson Bagent

While the Chicago Bears may have avoided the worst with Caleb Wiliams' hamstring injury, the timeline is such that the team may be looking at a stretch of starts from Tyson Bagent while he recovers. Should that be the case, Ben Johnson is confident in his backup quarterback.

"I would be a lot more concerned if I didn't have a year-and-a-half under our belts together now, and so I've seen him every single day in practice," Johnson said. "We've had a lot of reps during the course of training camp and in the preseason. So, if it goes that route, I feel strongly about what he's capable of, and our team does too. They know he's a darn good football player. He's won games in the past. Him and Case [Keenum] both have won games in this league. There's a lot of confidence that both of those guys can get the job done if it comes to it."
