Bears QBs Caleb Williams, Tyson Bagent Miss Practice

Sep 25, 2026

Both Bears quarterbacks pop up on Thursday's estimate

Chicago didn't hold a full practice Thursday, but the estimated report is the news. The Bears listed both of their top quarterbacks — starter Caleb Williams and backup Tyson Bagent — as non-participants. When a team's QB1 and QB2 land on the same report on the same day, it's worth pausing before you lock anything in.

The survivor-pick angle

Uncertainty at quarterback is the kind of thing that quietly wrecks a survivor entry. Even if these multi-week practice estimates end up meaning little, they add risk you don't have to take on. If the Bears are your intended play this week, treat this as a reason to hold off until the situation clears — and if you're leaning on Chicago as the opponent in a matchup you like, remember that a shorthanded QB room cuts both ways.

When a pick starts feeling shaky, the move is usually to find a cleaner spot rather than talk yourself into it. If you're still shaping your season strategy, our survivor pool FAQ covers how to weigh in-week news, and you can browse more survivor analysis for other angles this week. Wait for the next report before you commit.
