The Chicago Bears are scheduled to host the Philadelphia Eagles at Soldier Field in Week 3 Monday Night Football. CBS Sports’ betting preview lists Philadelphia as a 3.5-point favourite, with the total set at 42 points.

Chicago will be without quarterback Caleb Williams, who is out with a hamstring injury. Case Keenum is reported as the expected starter, though the Bears have not officially confirmed the choice.

Philadelphia tight end Dallas Goedert will miss the game with a knee injury. The Eagles enter at 2–0, while Chicago are 1–1.

The teams met last season, when Chicago beat Philadelphia 24–15. CBS Sports’ preview also presents differing assessments of Philadelphia’s offence, but those are analysts’ opinions rather than confirmed indications of how Monday’s game will unfold.
