Bears quarterback Caleb Williams exits loss to Vikings with right hamstring injury
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams left Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings with a right hamstring injury midway through the fourth quarter. The Bears lost the game at Soldier Field by a score of 9-3.
The injury came after running back Kyle Monangai converted a fourth down inside the red zone. Williams took off and ran to his left with a clear path to the end zone, and his right leg appeared to give way as he ran, and he fell awkwardly to the ground.
Williams tried twice to get himself to his feet but could not stand without the assistance of trainers. He was helped to the injury tent, where he stayed for several minutes before being carted back to the locker room. He sat on the cart with a towel over his head and appeared to be in pain when he uncovered his face, raised his right fist in the air and gave the crowd at Soldier Field a thumbs up before disappearing into the tunnel.
Williams is scheduled to undergo imaging on his injury Monday, according to the report. Tyson Bagent replaced Williams at quarterback.
The Bears failed to score a touchdown despite running two plays inside Minnesota's 6-yard line, and Cairo Santos' 23-yard field goal attempt was then blocked. The entirety of Sunday's game was played under a steady downpour.
