Chicago Bears activate Case Keenum off Non-Football Injury list


The Chicago Bears have activated quarterback Case Keenum off the Non-Football Injury list ahead of training camp.

Keenum landed on the NFI list on Saturday. The NFI list is used for players who are injured away from team activities. They must be removed from the list before they’re allowed to practice.

The Bears will hold their first training camp practice on Wednesday. Rookies, quarterbacks and injured players reported on Saturday with veterans set to report on Tuesday.

Keenum was signed to a one-year contract this offseason to serve as a mentor for second-year quarterback Caleb Williams. But he’ll also battle Tyson Bagent for the backup quarterback job. During the offseason program, Keenum took snaps with the second-team offense, indicating he might have the upper hand in the competition right now.

Notable players who remain on the NFI list before training camp: Cornerback Jaylon Johnson, wide receiver Jahdae Walker and running back Ian Wheeler. We’ll see if they’re ready ahead of Wednesday’s first practice.
