STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Williams suffers grade-one hamstring; likely out 2-3 weeks, not season-ending.

Caleb Williams suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2 against Minnesota and was carted off the field. Initial fears of an ACL or Achilles injury were allayed when reports indicated it was a grade-one hamstring strain. The source suggests he could miss a couple of weeks but may return by Week 4 or 5 against Green Bay, though the exact timeline remains uncertain.
