Overview
- Caleb Williams pulled his hamstring late in Sunday’s game and was carted off, and the team has since said he will not practice this week and is unlikely to play Monday.
- An MRI on Williams showed no structural tear but medical guidance and coach Ben Johnson’s comments point to a cautious, week‑to‑week recovery timeline that could keep Williams out multiple weeks.
- Tyson Bagent reported concussion symptoms Tuesday, entered the NFL’s five‑step concussion protocol, did not attend team work on Wednesday, and was listed as a non‑participant on the first practice report.
- With Williams and Bagent unavailable, 38‑year‑old Case Keenum is the only healthy quarterback on the Bears’ 53‑man roster and is the presumptive starter for Monday Night Football.
- The Bears are likely to elevate practice‑squad QB Miller Moss for depth and will face short‑term roster work around active‑roster limits while the situation determines game planning and personnel choices.
