Bears say Caleb Williams is week-to-week with hamstring injury and will ‘miss some time’
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams’s hamstring injury is going to be a “week-to-week thing,” Chicago coach Ben Johnson said Monday in a radio interview on ESPN 1000.
TL;DR
- Caleb Williams has a "week-to-week" hamstring injury and will miss some time.
- He was injured during a fourth-quarter scramble on Soldier Field's wet turf.
- Initial reports suggest a Grade 1 hamstring strain, but his playing next week is doubtful.
- If Williams is out, backup Tyson Bagent will start, marking Johnson's first time starting a backup as offensive playcaller.
- Coach Johnson expressed confidence in Bagent, viewing him as a top-32 NFL quarterback.
