Williams: Grade 2 Hamstring Strain

ESPN has revealed that Caleb Williams suffered a Grade 2 hamstring injury, not the initially hoped-for Grade 1. The Bears had kept the specific degree of the strain secret for six days. This type of injury typically requires 3-8 weeks to heal, with 3-4 weeks being on the shorter end of the recovery window. newsbetting.cv

Williams has already been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Eagles. With Williams sidelined, Tyson Bagent will start once cleared from a concussion, with Case Keenum as his backup. The Bears face multiple upcoming games without their franchise quarterback.
