The Philadelphia Eagles are scheduled to visit the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Monday night, with the home side’s quarterback plans in focus. CBS Sports reports Chicago has ruled out Caleb Williams with a hamstring injury and that Case Keenum is expected to start. Tyson Bagent is available after clearing concussion protocol.

Philadelphia enters the Week 3 game at 2–0 after beating Tennessee 24–20. Chicago is 1–1 and coming off a 9–3 loss to Minnesota.

CBS Sports lists the Eagles as 3.5-point favourites, with the total set at 41.5 points. The package also includes a separate report listing a 4.5-point spread and describing Williams as week-to-week, leaving the odds and injury status inconsistent across the material.

Betting analyst Emory Hunt’s stated selection is under 41.5 total points. His view, as reported by CBS Sports, is that Chicago’s quarterback concerns could limit its scoring and that Philadelphia’s defence could keep the game below the line.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 8.15pm ET. No result is provided in the source material.
