Bears quarterback Caleb Williams leaves the team’s Week 2 game against the Minnesota Vikings after appearing to suffer a significant lower-body, hamstring injury. Multiple outlets report he grabs at his hamstring during the game and is assisted off the field, then taken to the locker room or carted out. The Vikings go on to beat Chicago 9-3.
Reports say an MRI is expected or discussed as part of the ongoing evaluation. NDTV cites sports medical experts raising concern about a potential Achilles-related issue, while other coverage centers on the hamstring diagnosis and the team’s immediate next steps. Bears coach Ben Johnson characterizes the early findings as “somewhat encouraging,” but indicates Williams is likely to miss practice. The focus then shifts to timing for his next availability, including the possibility of returning later in the season, with Week 3 status against the Eagles highlighted in one report.
Across outlets, the differing emphasis is on what the injury might involve (hamstring vs. possible Achilles concern) and the projected impact on upcoming games and practice. Several accounts converge on the injury occurring late in the fourth quarter and the Bears awaiting further medical confirmation.
