Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels injured in Week 2: What's the outlook for Bears, Commanders signal callers?

Williams hurt his hamstring on a run; Daniels dislocated his elbow after an awkward fall. Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels will forever be intertwined as the No. 1 and No. 2 picks, respectively, in the quarterback-loaded 2024 NFL Draft. But right now they're unfortunately tied together by a different bond: Both young stars suffered injuries in Week 2, with Williams hurting his hamstring on a non-contact play and Daniels dislocating his left elbow while trying to brace his fall after getting stepped on by an offensive lineman. For Williams, it's his first significant NFL injury; he has started all 36 games (including playoffs) since being drafted by Chicago. For Daniels, it's the fourth significant injury he has suffered since the start of last season and his second left elbow dislocation in the last 11 months.
Both players will be out for at least some time, though further testing — beginning Monday — will provide a clearer timeline. Playing on a rain-soaked field, Williams took a bootleg dropback and outraced Andrew Van Ginkel to the edge. But in doing so, he pulled his right hamstring and quickly went down in pain. He needed help getting to the sideline and was then carted off the field. Caleb Williams -Took a long stride to avoid the tackle and went down non-contact.Not seeing too
