Bears’ QB Caleb Williams Expected to Miss 3-4 Weeks with Grade 2 Hamstring Strain
- On Saturday, the Chicago Bears officially ruled quarterback Caleb Williams out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles following his hamstring injury suffered during the September 20 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
- ESPN reports Williams sustained a Grade 2 hamstring injury, which doctors typically estimate requires a three-to-four-week recovery period, though the Bears managed to keep the specific severity secret for six days.
- Chicago head coach Ben Johnson described Williams as "different" than most, noting he often recovers faster than anticipated; before the injury, Williams threw for 269 yards and four touchdowns against the Carolina Panthers.
- Quarterback Tyson Bagent, cleared from concussion protocol, will start against the Eagles on Monday, while Case Keenum will serve as the team's backup after taking first-team reps at Halas Hall.
- The Bears aim to return their star to the field soon, with upcoming road games against the Green Bay Packers on October 11 and the Atlanta Falcons on October 18 as potential return windows.
