Should I Start Caleb Williams?

Tuesday, September 22, 10:03 AM

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) exited Sunday's loss to the Vikings with a hamstring injury, and on Tuesday, NFL Insider Ian Rapoport noted that he is unlikely to play on Monday night against the Eagles, with his status more up in the air for a Week 4 matchup against the Jets. Rapoport pointed out that the recovery timeline for this type of injury generally falls in the 2-4 week range but expressed confidence that backup Tyler Bagent would play well in Williams' absence. Williams was the overall QB1 in Week 1, and while his pre-injury performance on Sunday was not at the same level, expectations remain high for the former first overall pick, and he should be plugged directly back into lineups upon his eventual return.
