Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams will undergo an MRI Monday to determine the extent of the injury he suffered in Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Williams was carted off the field during the home opener against the Minnesota Vikings after suffering a non-contact injury in the fourth quarter.
Williams and the Bears were in the red zone when he rolled out to the left side of the field and immediately pulled up and began screaming in pain as trainers rushed to the field.
According to an update from the Bears just before the conclusion of the game, Williams suffered a hamstring injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest.
Bears head coach Ben Johnson said the team will know more about the severity of the injury in coming days.
“We’ll know [Monday],” Johnson said after the game. “He’s in good spirits. He’s a team player.”
There’s hope Williams avoided a serious injury. He was seen walking around the locker room after the game with only a slight limp. But the Bears won’t know the severity of it until he gets an MRI on Monday.
It’s possible he could return to the lineup sooner than later but the Bears will likely be cautious with Williams, whose mobility is a big part of his game.
A worst-case scenario would be an injury similar to what Dak Prescott suffered midway through the 2024 season. Prescott needed surgery because a hamstring tendon tore away from a bone. That required a four-month recovery process.
Seeing Williams visibly emotional, sitting on a cart with a towel draped over his face was a scary moment for Bears fans, his coaches and teammates. After a rough rookie season, Williams had a breakout year with coach Ben Johnson in 2025 and led Chicago to an NFC North title and playoff win.
“I’m actually happy it’s nothing with the knee, that was my first inclination,” Johnson said. “But yeah, the hamstring could be pretty damaging as well. So, we’ll see how bad it is and we’ll go from there.”
