The Chicago Bears are dealing with uncertainty at quarterback heading into Week 3, with Caleb Williams already considered week-to-week after suffering an injury that has made his availability against the Philadelphia Eagles doubtful. The situation became more complicated after the team confirmed that Tyson Bagent had entered the NFL’s concussion protocol.

With both quarterbacks facing availability concerns, veteran Case Keenum could now move into position to take the field. Listed third on the Bears’ quarterback depth chart, Keenum could be called upon against Philadelphia in Week 3.

As his chances of making an appearance increase, here is a closer look at Keenum’s career, including his age, college background, NFL achievements, contract and family life.

Although they lost contact for some time, Case and Kimberly eventually reconnected while they were in college. Their relationship later led to marriage, with the couple exchanging vows in June 2011 during a private ceremony in Abilene, Texas.

Keenum and his wife are parents to two children, a son named Kyler and a daughter named Cadence.

Now 38 years old, Keenum could be in line to return to the field and make his 12th NFL season appearance.
