The Chicago Bears appeared to have avoided disaster.

✨ Key Highlights

  • Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was carted off during Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings after appearing to suffer a serious leg injury while scrambling from the pocket.
  • According to Tom Pelissero of The Ringer and Netflix, Williams avoided a "major injury" and has not been ruled out for Chicago's Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 28.
  • Williams was initially ruled out of Sunday's game with a hamstring injury, and head coach Ben Johnson provided a postgame update on his condition.
  • Now in his third season, Williams led the Bears to an 11-6 record, an NFC North title, and a divisional-round playoff appearance in 2025.
  • Last season he completed 58.1 percent of his passes for 3,942 yards, 27 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, while adding 388 rushing yards and three scores on 77 carries.
  • Williams cut his sacks from a historic 68 as a rookie to 24 last year, with Johnson focusing on improving his accuracy this offseason; if Williams misses time, Chicago would turn to Tyson Bagent or Case Keenum.
