Ben Johnson sounds off on Bears QB Caleb Williams' hamstring injury
Bears HC Ben Johnson reacts to quarterback Caleb Williams' hamstring injury late in the game in Chicago's loss to the Vikings.
The Chicago Bears faced a series of setbacks in their game against the Minnesota Vikings, with quarterback Caleb Williams suffering a non-contact injury late in the fourth quarter. Despite initial fears of a season-ending tear, head coach Ben Johnson confirmed the injury was not a knee issue, ruling out a torn ACL. However, the quarterback sustained a hamstring injury, which could prove to be highly detrimental.
Johnson expressed relief that the injury was not a knee problem, but acknowledged the significant impact a hamstring injury can have. Williams is expected to undergo imaging on Monday to determine the severity of the injury. If the damage is a Grade 1 hamstring tear, Williams may only miss a few games, but a Grade 3 tear could sideline him for the majority of the season.
Williams' ability to continue playing after the injury suggested it was likely a Grade 1 or Grade 2 tear.
