Podcast: It’s Tyson Bagent time as the Bears battle the Raiders

Bears rookie QB Tyson Bagent will make his first NFL start Sunday against the Raiders. We discuss.

The Chicago Bears (1-5) are gearing up for a Week 7 game against the Las Vegas Raiders (3-3), which is shaping up to be a battle of the backup quarterbacks.

Justin Fields suffered a dislocated thumb on his right throwing hand in last Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings (2-4). He’s doubtful for the Raiders game, which means it’ll be undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent making his first NFL start.

With Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo officially ruled out for Sunday, it’s a matter of if it’ll be veteran Brian Hoyer or fourth-round rookie Aidan O’Connell under center for Las Vegas.

On the latest episode of our Bears Wire Podcast, host Ryan O’Leary (@RyanO_Leary) and myself (@AlyssaBarbieri) discuss Justin Fields, Tyson Bagent and preview Sunday’s game against the Raiders.
