Caleb Williams "Week-to-Week" with Hamstring Injury, Ben Johnson Won't Rule Him Out for Week 3

Bagent’s preseason film and a scripted passing plan could guide Chicago, while Williams’ hamstring injury leaves the Bears adjusting on offense.

  • Tyson Bagent will start for the Chicago Bears following Caleb Williams' non-contact hamstring injury during Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at Soldier Field.
  • Coach Ben Johnson indicated Williams is considered 'week-to-week' with a right hamstring strain after an MRI on Monday, though the team has not ruled him out completely for Week 3.
  • During the 2026 preseason, Bagent completed 16-of-17 passes against the Tennessee Titans, demonstrating he fits the offensive scheme. He said 'I have a good team around me, good coaching staff, so I'm ready to roll.'
  • To accommodate Bagent, Ben Johnson plans to pivot the offense toward a more scripted system featuring three-step drops and short routes instead of the aggressive scheme Williams employed.
  • Bagent will make his first start since 2023 when the Bears face the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football next week, a critical test for the franchise's offensive continuity.
