Starting quarterback Caleb Williams He suffered a leg injury. In last Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Williams fell on the field during the fight and was eventually taken to the field Locker room on cart. Thankfully for Williams and the Bears, an MRI on Monday showed no signs of a tear or any signs of knee injury and it was confirmed that he had a hamstring strain.
Right now, he’s considered week-to-week, and the Bears haven’t ruled him out Monday night football until now.
