It would appear the Bears have dodged a bullet with the Caleb Williams injury, especially given how severe it looked in real time. Tom Pelissero is even reporting the team won’t even rule him out from playing this upcoming Sunday, although this is almost certainly just posturing given that head coach Ben Johnson has publicly said the injury would be a “week to week” situation.
In Williams’ absence, Tyson Bagent will step in at QB1. Bagent held his own in relief duty on Sunday, completing 5-of-9 passes for 54 yards. That included a 21-yard strike to Rome Odunze, followed by an 8 yard pickup to Luther Burden that had Chicago on the doorstep, before a game-ending sack sealed the loss. Assuming Williams is ruled out, Case Keenum will serve as Bears’ QB2 when they face the Eagles on Sunday.
