NBC 5 Chicago • • general
Key Points:
- Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams suffered a hamstring injury during the home opener against the Vikings but avoided major damage, according to MRI results released Monday.
- Head coach Ben Johnson described Williams' status as "week to week," indicating the quarterback could return sooner than initially feared and is not yet ruled out for Monday's game against the Eagles.
- Williams was carted off the field after a non-contact injury in the fourth quarter and was ruled out for the remainder of that game, though he was seen walking with only a slight limp afterward.
- The Bears are likely to be cautious with Williams' recovery due to the importance of his mobility, and Johnson noted he "will likely miss some time."
- Williams had a breakout 2025 season under coach Johnson, helping lead Chicago to an NFC North title and a playoff win, making his injury a significant concern for the team and fans.
