Caleb Williams injury update: Bears QB reportedly avoids major hamstring injury, has shot to play in Week 3

Williams reportedly is not expected to miss much time and could play against the Eagles

Caleb Williams is not done for the season after his scary hamstring injury and he, in fact, could suit up on Monday night. Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has reportedly avoided a major injury to his hamstring, per Tom Pelissero. Tests conducted on Monday brought forth good news, and Williams even has a shot to suit up for Chicago's Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on "Monday Night Football." Bears coach Ben Johnson told ESPN Chicago that Williams "will likely miss some time" and labeled him "week-to-week." Still, this is very good news for Chicago. With about eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of the Bears' eventual 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, Williams went down with a non-contact injury, prompting fears of the worst.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft remained on the wet grass for some time, and rolled around — struggling to get up. The Bears' training staff then helped Williams off the field and loaded him into a cart. However, he did give the fans in attendance an emphatic thumbs up as he entered the tunnel.
