# Rich Hribar: Previewing the Week 3 Monday night game, Hribar expects Caleb Williams to sit, doubts Tyson Bagent clears concussion protocol in time, and therefore has Case Keenum starting at quarterback for Chicago; he also expects Zach Ertz to play for Philadelphia in his first week back. **Claimed:** Sep 24, 2026 **Pundit:** Rich Hribar — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/rich-hribar **Outlet:** Sharp Football Analysis — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/sharp-football-analysis **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/fantasy/eagles-bears-week-3-fantasy-football-preview-nfl-worksheet-rich-hribar-2026/ 4 checkable claims — 3 availability calls and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 6 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > While Caleb Williams avoided a major injury that will not end his season, we still don't expect him to play in Week 3. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Ertz is expected to play on Monday, but it would be shocking to see him have a massive role right away in the first week back with the team.** - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **The Monday night game gives Bagent an extra day to clear protocol, but post-game symptoms make that a longer bet.** - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Tyson Bagent, Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **While Caleb Williams avoided a major injury that will not end his season, we still don't expect him to play in Week 3.** - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Case Keenum to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Case Keenum, Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Zach Ertz — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/zach-ertz - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/eagles - Tyson Bagent — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/tyson-bagent - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bears - Caleb Williams — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/caleb-williams - Case Keenum — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/case-keenum ## What others said about the same people - Jeff Kerr on Cole Payton: Kerr ranks the Eagles' 2025 draft picks by cut risk, predicting seventh-rounders Keyshawn James-Newby and Cole Wisniewski land on the practice squad, while Cole Payton, Uar Bernard, Makai Lemon, Eli Stowers and Markel Bell make the 53.
