That massive *sigh* you just heard is from the entire Chicago Bears fanbase welcoming the good news just published about their young franchise quarterback. An update that is MUCH better than the initial speculation.
Per Tom Pelissero of The Ringer the prognosis of Caleb Williams is positive as he avoided a serious hamstring injury.
Ultimately, there still should be precaution exercised here, as hamstring injuries can be tricky to both diagnose and treat without risking setbacks. That being said, there is a chance Caleb Williams does not miss any time due to what is being considered as a mild hamstring pull. It’s certainly better than what Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys recently underwent, as he missed an entire season due to the required surgery.
It’s also not the first time in Caleb Williams’ football career that he’s pulled a hamstring. In December of 2022, he suffered a similar injury in his left leg and would not be back to full speed for a month. As teammates have described, Caleb is a very resilient baller who will push to return as soon as possible.
Ben Johnson will be speaking to the media in the near future. And, chances are, we should expect Tyson Bagent at quarterback against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football unless the Bears are 100% convinced Caleb Williams is good to go in one calendar week. Still… I can speak for many of us when I say, “Thank God.”
