Caleb Williams injury update as Bears QB carried off field vs. Vikings - USA Today

CHICAGO – Caleb Williams went down and stayed down.

As the Chicago Bears quarterback went for the end zone in the fourth quarter of a 6-3 game against the Minnesota Vikings, Williams went to the ground and had to be carried off the field.

Replays showed Williams grabbing at something in his lower body before going to the ground. He could not put weight on his right leg.

Williams was loaded from the injury tent onto a cart and covered his face with a towel. The cart departed for the locker room. An unbearable hush washed over Soldier Field as the franchise quarterback’s fate remained unknown for minutes that felt like hours.

Williams was on the verge of scoring the go-ahead touchdown midway through the fourth quarter when he used a long stride to evade a would-be tackler and took his angle to the left-front pylon.

That’s when he came up lame and went down in a heap.

Williams was officially ruled out with a hamstring injury.

The passer was emotional as he was loaded onto the cart.

The quarterback gave a thumbs up to the crowd as he headed into the tunnel.
