Caleb Williams Rolls Right Ankle in Wild-Card Game vs. Packers, Returns to Action

Chicago trailed 21-3 at halftime in its first home playoff game since 2018.

Overview

  • The injury occurred early in the third quarter after an incomplete pass as Williams' right ankle turned awkwardly.
  • Replays showed the ankle rolled after he released the ball and he limped to the sideline.
  • Broadcast shots indicated no visit to the blue medical tent or visible training-staff attention before he reentered.
  • Williams returned for the next drive, which ended with Cairo Santos converting a 34-yard field goal to make it 21-6.
  • At that point he was 10-of-21 for 126 yards with an interception, with the Bears 0-for-2 in the red zone and 1-for-4 on fourth down, and no further medical update was provided.
