Overview
- The Chicago Bears fell 3-9 to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday after quarterback Caleb Williams left the field in visible distress and was taken to the locker room on a cart.
- Reports describe a right-leg or thigh injury and say teams are assessing a possible Achilles or serious muscle tear, but doctors have not yet released a definitive diagnosis.
- Tyson Bagent replaced Williams late in the game and the Bears were unable to score a touchdown after the injury, a rapid turn from last week’s 59-point performance.
- Other roster updates reported on Sunday include Atlanta’s Michael Penix Jr. being eyed for a Week 3 return from last season’s ACL tear and Seattle starting Drew Lock because Sam Darnold remains injured.
- NFL international plans and German coverage remain unchanged: the Munich game between the Detroit Lions and New England Patriots on Nov. 15 is on sale via the NFL portal, the Sept. 27 Cowboys‑Ravens game in Rio will be paywalled in Germany on Sky, and RTL retains key free‑to‑air Sunday slots.
