Caleb Williams injury update: Bears QB reportedly avoids major hamstring injury, has shot to play in Week 3

Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams has avoided a severe hamstring injury following medical evaluations on Monday. The top selection from the 2024 draft suffered a non-contact issue during the final period of a 9-3 defeat against Minnesota, forcing him to leave via cart.

Although head coach Ben Johnson previously characterized the quarterback as week-to-week, he currently has an opportunity to participate in the upcoming prime-time fixture against Philadelphia. Backup Tyson Bagent filled in during the loss, completing 5 of 9 attempts for 54 yards before a late sack halted a potential game-tying drive.
