Williams has Grade 2 hamstring strain

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

ESPN reports that Williams' injury is more serious than initially hoped, as the Bears had kept the specific degree of the strain secret for six days. A Grade 2 hamstring injury typically requires three to eight weeks for recovery, with the Bears optimistic about a shorter timeline.

Tyson Bagent is expected to start once cleared from a concussion, with Case Keenum as his backup. Williams has already been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Eagles, and the Bears face several challenging matchups in the coming weeks. freshyourfeel.org
