Caleb Williams exits Bears game with hamstring injury as Vikings win 9-3

Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings after sustaining a right-leg injury while scrambling near the sideline. The 24-year-old, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft, had completed 15 of 26 passes for 138 yards and one interception, and added five rushes for 42 yards in rainy conditions at Soldier Field.

Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent entered the game, but the Bears’ drive stalled when a 23-yard field-goal attempt by Cairo Santos was blocked by Vikings defender Isaiah Rodgers, preserving Minnesota’s 6-3 lead. The Vikings held on to win 9-3, improving to 2-0 on the season, while the Bears fell to 1-1.
