Bears Eyeing Former Jets Veteran QB Ahead of Packers Matchup

The Chicago Bears could sign another quarterback to their 53-man roster ahead of their Week 18 regular-season finale against the Green Bay Packers as Tyson Bagent continues to miss time at practice due to an illness.

According to the NFL’s transaction wire for January 4, the Bears brought in veteran quarterback Chris Streveler for a roster workout on Thursday along with four others.

Streveler — who is a native of Naperville, Illinois — made his first career start for the New York Jets in 2022, but the 28-year-old has attempted just 40 passes since coming into the league in 2020. Fortunately, the Bears would only need him to act as their emergency third-string quarterback against the Packers if they decided to sign him.

The Bears have veteran Nathan Peterman on their 53-man roster available to step up if Bagent is not healthy enough to play against the Packers. The focus, of course, will be on starter Justin Fields in what could potentially be the final game for the Bears.

Fields will look to beat the Packers (8-8) for the first time when the Bears (7-9) travel to Lambeau Field for their 4:25 p.m. Eastern Time kickoff on Sunday, January 7.
