Williams suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2 against Minnesota. Initial hope is that it will be diagnosed as a Grade 1 strain (the lowest level with minimal muscle fiber tearing), but the MRI will determine the extent. Even if it's only Grade 1, he may not be ready for the Bears' Monday Night Football matchup against the Eagles in eight days.

Williams had one of his worst games in quite some time in Week 2 against Minnesota, struggling to move the ball despite multiple scoring opportunities.

Williams was far from the only disappointment, but his performance was notably poor.NegativeRoleSep 21, 2026
With Williams out for the foreseeable future, the Bears' ceiling is dictated by how well the offense can settle in. The road back to the playoffs became much harder.

The offense will need to change moving forward, with relying on the run game becoming key to finding offensive success.NegativeInjurySep 21, 2026
Williams left the Week 2 game against Minnesota in the fourth quarter with what appeared to be a serious hamstring injury. Monday's MRI results will determine severity; early reports from NBC Sports' Mike Florio suggest optimism for a Grade 1 sprain that would sideline him only a few weeks rather than season-ending. Head coach Ben Johnson was noncommittal postgame, but both Johnson and top insiders echo the same information: anything short of injured reserve should keep the Bears in the playoff race. Initial speculation puts Williams' return-to-play timeframe in the three-to-six-week window, with the middle point suggesting three-to-four games for backup Tyson Bagent to cover.NegativeInjurySep 21, 2026

Suffered a non-contact right hamstring injury in Week 2 against Minnesota; carted off the field. His scream in pain, need for assistance leaving the field, and the severity of the cart-off suggest a serious injury outlook both short and long term. The source notes his physical attributes have gotten him out of sticky situations and allowed him to make plays most other NFL quarterbacks cannot; without him, the Bears' offense will not be serviceable. If Williams misses a significant part of the 2026 regular season, the Bears will not make the playoffs, as their entire playoff hopes relied upon having one of the best offenses in the NFL.NegativeInjurySep 21, 2026

Caleb Williams is currently off the board for MVP consideration due to a hamstring injury.

Head coach Ben Johnson stated postgame that the team would not know the severity until Monday, noting 'I'm actually happy it's nothing with the knee. That was my first inclination.

Chicago Bears starting quarterback Caleb Williams left today's game with a hamstring injury and is expected to be out for the Week 3 Monday Night Football matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles; the oddsmakers appear to have moved the line significantly due to his absence, with the Bears becoming home underdogs (+3.5) against a very good Eagles team, suggesting a potential one-touchdown swing in the line attributable to losing their QB1.PositiveRoleSep 20, 2026
Williams demonstrated dynamic playmaking and athleticism in the game before his injury. He had two touchdown runs against Carolina in Week 1 and executed multiple highlight-worthy runs in the first half against Minnesota, including a perfectly executed stop-and-go move near the sideline that left defender Levi Drake Rodriguez diving at air, and a scramble where he evaded a sack by rolling left, wheeling right, and making the Vikings defense look silly. He also turned a fumbled snap into a 19-yard gain on Chicago's first drive and fired a backpedaling completion to Rome Odunze just before his injury.NegativeInjurySep 20, 2026
Williams suffered a hamstring injury in the Bears' 9-3 loss to Minnesota on Sept. 20. He was carried off the field after evading Vikings linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel on a quarterback keeper play near the goal line. Head coach Ben Johnson said the severity was unknown immediately after the game but the organization would have more information Monday. Depending on the severity of the strain, Williams could miss a handful of games—almost certainly the Bears' next contest on Monday Night Football Sept. 28 against Philadelphia—or even months. However, nobody in the Bears' locker room appeared to believe Williams' season is over or that his absence will be extremely lengthy.NegativeInjurySep 20, 2026
Williams was carted off due to an injury late in the fourth quarter of the Bears' 9-3 loss to the Vikings in Week 2.
