21 Sep
Summary
- Caleb Williams has a Grade 1 hamstring strain.
- He is expected to miss one to three weeks of playing time.
- Williams' hamstring remains structurally intact, avoiding a severe tear.
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams experienced a significant scare on Sunday when he went down during a game against the Minnesota Vikings, later diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Fortunately, medical assessments revealed that his hamstring is structurally intact, avoiding the feared complete detachment.
Williams is projected to miss between one to three weeks as he undergoes rehabilitation for the injury. While the team has not ruled him out for an upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles, a more realistic timeline suggests a gradual return to play. Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent is expected to take snaps in Williams' stead during his recovery period.
