Hamstring for Caleb??

Thats what I am reading in all the speculation...

Bears said hammy

Could have been much worse

Head coach Ben Johnson noted after the game that they "will know a lot more tomorrow" following further medical evaluations and imaging. [1]

While a definitive timeline depends on the official MRI results, hamstring strains typically follow these recovery windows based on severity: [1]

• Grade 1 (Mild): 1 to 2 weeks

• Grade 2 (Moderate): 3 to 4 weeks

• Grade 3 (Severe/Tear): 1 to 3 months [1]

Williams had to be carted off the field after a non-contact scramble, indicating a potentially significant strain. Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent will lead the offense for as long as Williams remains sidelined

Scrappy field took its toll. Looked bad the way he just dropped.

Any time a guy goes down like that without actually being touched by someone else, I cringe as I have seen it too many times in both football and basketball over the years. I am guessing out at least 4+ games and likely not the same after returning for several games.

I think 8 games. Then not the same. Quick twitch athlete

Huge bummer. Hate to see that for a player. Hopefully it will more on the mild side, but I'm kind of doubting it given how little pressure he could put on it.

It might be he has the mildest form of hamstring injury and you'd think Lee Harvey Oswald shot him with a bear gun from the 8th row the way he rolled around dramatically. 🙄

if he is back anytime under a 6 weeks, then he is the biggest pussy I have ever seen. I popped a hammy very bad and was dealing with it over a year later still... and no I didnt roll around screaming like a bitch, it hurt, but Ive gotten a lot worse than that, I am thinking he is the pussy I thought he was physically as well as mentally.

I hope he’s okay and it IS minor.

HAVING SAID THAT Leb sold that hammy like rent was due lmao. Stadium went deathly quiet because everyone thought Williams had died.

I'm no doctor, but I think there are run-of-the-mill hammy injuries and there is what happened yesterday to Caleb. Based on the amount of pain he was in, this looked more like the grade 2 or 3, maybe a tear. Or like Jimmy said, he could just be a pussy. 😆

Dunno, he might be soft, but he is also a competitor. To drop like that when he had a chance to win the game tells me it was bad. As Jimmy said, if he comes back in a week or 2, I will change my tune.

That said, my oldest played football with a kid who had that same rep. Talked big, played soft. And when he was hurt, the louder he yelled, the more he rolled around, it meant the injury was minor. Once he went down and just laid there, no yelling, no rolling. I said, I think he is actually hurt. Ended up blowing out his knee on that one.

Oh and Twitter is a cesspool.

Nobody is happier to see this meme than JJ McCarthy, I think this finally washes out the nine meme…
