Caleb Williams exited the Bears' 9-3 loss to the Vikings in Week 2 with a hamstring injury, raising concerns about Chicago's Super Bowl aspirations. The quarterback, who had a strong Week 1 performance, suffered a non-contact strain while trying to lead a comeback. If the injury is mild, he may be sidelined for 1-4 weeks; a severe injury could keep him out for over half the season. Chicago's offense struggled significantly during the game without him. The Bears face crucial matchups ahead, including a home game against the Eagles next week and the Jets after that, which could impact their playoff chances.
- •Williams had 269 passing yards and four TDs in Week 1.
- •Bears managed only three points against Minnesota before Williams' injury.
- •Upcoming games against Eagles, Jets, and Packers could define the season.
- •Chicago currently tied for third in the division at 1-1.
- •Vikings lead the division with a 2-0 record.
