Bears' Caleb Williams could miss 3–4 weeks with hamstring injury

League sources told ESPN and NFL Network that Caleb Williams has a Grade 2 hamstring injury, ESPN reported September 27, 2026. Doctors estimated 3–4 weeks of recovery, but Williams could return sooner; Bears coach Ben Johnson called him week-to-week without setting a timetable. Williams was ruled out against the Eagles in Week 3 after getting hurt against Minnesota in Week 2. ESPN also reported that backup Tyson Bagent remained in concussion protocol and was questionable despite a full Saturday practice, leaving Case Keenum as a possible starter.
