Caleb Williams injury: Bears star carted off after collapsing on run
Caleb Williams looked like a potential MVP candidate during Week 1, as he led a Chicago Bears offense that hung 59 points on the board against the Carolina Panthers. But the combination of weather in Chicago — and a Brian Flores-led Minnesota Vikings defense — has made for tougher sledding in Week 2. And now the Bears quarterback could be dealing with a lower-body injury. Williams had to be helped off the field after a short run midway through the fourth quarter, and the injury brought backup quarterback Tyson Bagent into the game.
