Evansville, IN, September 22, 2026 —

Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent has entered the National Football League’s concussion protocol, the team confirmed. The status of the second-year signal-caller is now uncertain pending the outcome of the evaluation process.

The concussion protocol is a series of steps designed to ensure the health and safety of players who sustain a head injury. It involves evaluations by medical professionals and requires clearance before a player can return to practice or game action. The specific timeline for a player to navigate the protocol can vary widely depending on the individual and the severity of the concussion, if one is indeed diagnosed.

Details regarding the exact circumstances or the game in which Bagent may have sustained a head injury were not immediately available. As per league and team policy, players entering the protocol are not permitted to participate in team activities until they have met all the established medical benchmarks. Updates on Bagent’s condition and his potential return to play will be provided as they become available through official team channels.

Tyson Bagent, an undrafted free agent from Shepherd University, has been a notable presence for the Bears. He has previously stepped into a starting role for the team. His current placement in the protocol marks a significant development for the team’s quarterback depth chart as they prepare for upcoming games.
