Caleb Williams Avoids Season-Ending Injury, Faces Week-to-Week Hamstring Absence After Cart Exit

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 21

Ben Johnson said Caleb Williams is week-to-week with a right hamstring injury, a far better outcome than the season-ending fears sparked when the Bears quarterback was carted off Sunday against Minnesota.
An MRI on Monday assessed the strain, and Johnson said he does not expect Williams to practice this week, though he stopped short of ruling him out for Week 3.
Craig Carton seized on Williams' emotional reaction, saying the quarterback acted as if he had torn an Achilles or ACL and arguing the scene made the injury look far worse than it was.
The criticism spread as Bears fans absorbed both sides of the episode: a public backlash over Williams' on-field reaction and relief that Chicago's season is still alive if his absence is limited.

With a massive re-injury risk looming, will the Bears trust backup Tyson Bagent rather than rush their star quarterback back too soon?
