Bears Could Turn to 38-Year-Old Veteran QB After Caleb Williams Injury
The Bears could be forced to turn to a 38-year-old veteran after injuries leave their quarterback situation in serious doubt.
When Caleb Williams suffered an injury during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears fans feared the worst. Williams appeared in significant pain after pulling up and sliding to the ground, with a non-contact hamstring strain that might sideline him for a while. Head coach Ben Johnson announced that Williams would not practice in Week 3, suggesting he could miss Chicago's upcoming Monday Night Football matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
However, it seems that Eagles' quarterback Case Keenum may step in to lead the offense in Williams' absence. Keenum, a 38-year-old veteran, hasn't played a regular-season NFL game since December 2023 and had limited action in both 2024 and 2025 with the Bears and Texans. Chicago's offensive line will face a formidable challenge against the Eagles' top-ranked defense, which includes Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Nolan Smith Jr., Jalyx Hunt, and Zack Baun.
