Caleb Williams Week-to-Week After Hamstring

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is week-to-week with a hamstring injury and will likely miss some time, coach Ben Johnson said Monday on ESPN 1000, even after earlier reports that tests did not show a major injury. Johnson still planned to huddle with the training staff for the full lowdown, but the board line was clear: week-to-week, likely sidelined for a stretch, and Chicago potentially dodged a worse outcome.
Williams went down on a non-contact play Sunday against Minnesota, grabbed the hamstring, and was carted off before Chicago ruled him out. Morning notes had framed hope around avoiding a major tear and leaving Week 3 against the Eagles open. Johnson's radio update tightened that optimism into a miss-time caution without locking a return date.
Tyson Bagent is the next man up if Williams cannot go next Monday night at home. Soft fantasy note only: do not invent a snap count or a Week 4 lock from one radio hit. Bank week-to-week, watch practice participation, and wait for the next official designation.
Week 3 watch
Week-to-week. Likely miss time. Bagent on deck.
Caution first. Practice decides the rest.
