Ben Johnson isn’t going to play the, “Who’s going to start?” game this week.
In a radio interview with ESPN 1000 Chicago on Monday, Johnson said Tyson Bagent will start at quarterback in the team’s Week 5 matchup with the Packers.
“Tyson will be the guy,” Johnson said, via Kevin Fishbain of TheAthletic.com. “We’ll go from there. We’re in good shape.”
Bagent technically was not the starter on Sunday, as Case Keenum took the first snap in a cheeky move from Johnson. But it was Bagent’s show the rest of the way, as he completed 25-of-34 passes for 268 yards with an interception.
Caleb Williams is dealing with a hamstring injury suffered during the Week 2 loss to the Vikings. He has been considered week-to-week.
In 14 career games with five starts, Bagent has completed 67.2 percent of his passes for 1,239 yards with three touchdowns and seven interceptions.
