Caleb Williams Confirms Hamstring Tear After Revealing Shaky Bears Week 6 Update
Williams said reports understated a hamstring tear that has sidelined him for three games and left his Week 6 status uncertain.
- On Thursday, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams publicly addressed his health for the first time since suffering a "hamstring tear, a pretty serious one" during Week 2, disputing widespread media reports about the injury's severity.
- During a non-contact scramble against the Minnesota Vikings, Williams sustained the injury, forcing the rookie to miss three consecutive games while backups Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent took over.
- Williams participated fully in practice for the second consecutive day, putting him on track to start Sunday's road game against the Atlanta Falcons.
- Addressing the press, Williams declined to specify the injury grade, stating, "it doesn't deserve to be put out there after all the false ones," and shut down further questioning from The Athletic reporter Dan Wiederer.
- The Bears currently hold a 3-2 record in the NFC North and face a short turnaround, hosting the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football four days after the Falcons game.
