Caleb Williams is expected to miss time for the Chicago Bears due to a hamstring injury sustained in a 9-3 loss against the Minnesota Vikings. This will impact head coach Ben Johnson as he prepares for his first game without a No. 1 overall pick at quarterback. Alternatives include veteran Case Keenum or Tyson Bagent, who is currently in concussion protocol. Johnson’s previous work with former No. 1 picks like Williams and Jared Goff has been well-praised, creating uncertainty about his effectiveness with a backup quarterback against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3.
