Bears QB Caleb Williams Week-to-Week With Right Hamstring Injury

Coach Ben Johnson announced that Caleb Williams is week-to-week following a right hamstring injury sustained in a 9-3 defeat against the Vikings.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is considered week-to-week after sustaining a right hamstring injury during a 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Coach Ben Johnson confirmed the status Monday morning during an appearance on ESPN 1000, stating he anticipates the rookie passer will be sidelined for some time.

Williams underwent an MRI on Monday morning to determine the exact severity of the strain. While Johnson noted he still needs to consult with the team trainer for a full report, he characterized the situation as a short-term absence rather than a season-ending issue. The coach suggested Williams potentially avoided a more severe injury, noting the quarterback typically recovers faster than the average person.

Johnson is scheduled to provide further updates to local reporters on Monday afternoon. The injury occurred during a game where the Chicago offense was held to just three points in the loss to Minnesota.
