Tyson Bagent News
Tuesday, September 22, 10:29 AM
Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent (concussion) is dealing with a concussion and is in the league's concussion protocol, sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. With starter Caleb Williams likely out on Monday night in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles, veteran Case Keenum could end up starting this week. The Bears are suddenly in dire straits at the QB position early in the season. They might have dodged a bullet on Williams' hamstring injury, but he could still end up missing a week or two, at least. The 26-year-old Bagent went 5-for-9 passing for 54 yards in the team's 9-3 loss to the division-rival Minnesota Vikings in Week 2 after he replaced Williams in the fourth quarter on a rain-soaked field in Chicago. Bagent is not a lock to miss the Week 3 contest on Monday night, but with him being in the concussion protocol, it definitely hurts his argument for being a waiver-wire pickup in deep two-QB superflex leagues. He is not currently rostered at all in any Yahoo leagues.

Will Howard News
Thursday, August 27, 7:24 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Will Howard (head) was being evaluated for a potential head injury on Thursday night in the preseason finale against the Buffalo Bills, according to Alan Saunders of PGH Steelers Now. Howard played the entire first half against Buffalo before being pulled due to injury after going 9-for-15 for 69 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. He was sacked three times for a loss of 22 yards. Rookie Drew Allar, who is competing for the QB3 job with Howard behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph, went 9-for-18 in the contest for 88 yards passing, no touchdowns, and no interceptions. Howard, 24, was a sixth-round pick by Pittsburgh last year from Ohio State, but he didn't see any action in the regular season and could be headed to the Steelers' practice squad or to another team if he loses the QB3 battle to Allar following training camp and the preseason. He led the Buckeyes to a national championship in 2024, and new head coach Mike McCarthy has had positive things to say, but Howard has zero redraft appeal and very little stash upside in dynasty/keeper leagues.
