The Chicago Bears suffered a frustrating 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at Soldier Field — and the biggest concern coming out of the game is the status of Caleb Williams.
Williams suffered a right hamstring injury on a non-contact play in the fourth quarter while scrambling near the goal line. The latest update from head coach Ben Johnson is that Williams is “week to week” and will likely miss some time, although the Bears believe they may have avoided a more serious injury.

But the injury wasn't the only problem for Chicago.
The Bears' offense struggled throughout a rainy afternoon at Soldier Field. Chicago failed to score a touchdown, committed eight penalties for 58 yards, and couldn't capitalize on multiple trips deep into Minnesota territory. The Bears even reached the Vikings' 1-yard line before a D'Andre Swift fumble ended one of their best scoring opportunities.
Caleb finished the game 15-of-26 for 138 yards with an interception, while adding 42 rushing yards. After Williams left, Tyson Bagent tried to lead a late comeback, but the Bears couldn't finish the drive. Dallas Turner sacked Bagent on fourth down with one second remaining to seal Minnesota's victory.
