Bears HC Ben Johnson delivers hopeful update on Caleb Williams

Caleb Williams could be back in action relatively quickly.

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson provided a positive update on starting quarterback Caleb Williams following his lower-body injury in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Initially, the injury appeared severe, but Johnson stated that Williams is currently on a week-to-week recovery timeline and is unlikely to return immediately.

Johnson emphasized that the team needs to consult their trainer for more information before providing a definitive prognosis. Despite the setback, Johnson expressed optimism about Williams' chances of resuming play at some point, given his impressive performance in the team's Week 1 victory over the Panthers and the Bears' recent success in the NFC North Championship and Divisional Round.

Tyson Bagent, a former Division II All-American, stepped in to replace Williams and completed 5-of-9 passes for 54 yards in Bagent's brief appearance.
