Hamstring recovery time in NFL: How Caleb Williams' injury compares to Lamar Jackson, Dak Prescott, others
Here's what we know about Chicago's star quarterback forced out of their Week 2 contest due to injury.
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams suffered a hamstring injury during their Week 2 contest against the Minnesota Vikings, which forced him to leave the game early. While the severity of his injury remains unclear, it is believed to be a noncontact injury, meaning he was not tackled or hit while suffering the pain. Head coach Ben Johnson stated that Williams is in good spirits and that it was not a more serious knee injury.
However, the exact recovery timeline is yet to be determined. If Williams experienced a complete hamstring tear, he could be out for 8-12 weeks, or even longer. Conversely, a Grade 2 or lower strain could see him back on the field within 3-8 weeks.
