Bears Quarterback Caleb Williams Leaves with Right Leg Injury
Williams was helped off the field after screaming in pain and appearing unable to put weight on his leg, with no official status update yet.
- On Sunday, September 20, 2026, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams suffered an apparent non-contact leg injury during the fourth quarter against the Minnesota Vikings at Soldier Field.
- Williams, who led the Bears to a historic 59-37 Week 1 victory over the Carolina Panthers, had been remarkably durable throughout his three-year NFL career before the injury.
- Scrambling on a 1st-and-goal play, Williams collapsed to the turf without contact and screamed in pain before trainers carted him off the field to the locker room.
- Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent replaced Williams, but the Bears' offense struggled as a blocked Cairo Santos field goal attempt kept Chicago scoreless in the second half.
- With the Vikings leading 6-3 late in the game, the Bears face an uncertain path forward with an eight-day wait until their Monday night matchup against the Eagles.
