Caleb Williams has Grade 2 hamstring strain

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, potentially keeping him out of action for three to four weeks.

The Bears had kept the specific injury grade secret for six days, but ESPN now reports Williams suffered a Grade 2 strain, which is on the short end of the typical three to eight week recovery window. The quarterback has already been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Eagles. rouesnews.click

Tyson Bagent, once cleared from a concussion, will start with Case Keenum as backup. The Bears face the Jets in Week 4 before traveling to Green Bay and Atlanta, followed by matchups against the Patriots and Seahawks.
