NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Bears QB Caleb Williams( hamstring) is not anticipated to play in Week 3 versus the Eagles.


This isn’t much of an upgrade, however it bears keeping in mind. Williams is thought about week-to-week at this moment . He is not practicing, nor is QB2 Tyson Bagent( concussion). Bagent may have a much better opportunity to play than Williams does, however neither gamer is on the best side of doubtful. Bears QB3 Case Keenum will “most likely “start on Monday Night Football versus the Eagles in Week 3.

  The Bears’ QB1 Caleb Williams( hamstring) and QB2 Bagent are both sidelined, leaving QB3 Case Keenum to take first-team reps. If Bagent can clear the NFL’s concussion procedure quickly, he has an opportunity to begin in Week 3 versus the Eagles on Monday Night Football, however Keenum appears like the most likely starter.

  Williams is not able to practice today, as anticipated. Bears QB3 Case Keenum took first-team associates the other day, with Williams ‘main backup, QB Tyson Bagent, having actually been put in the NFL’s concussion procedure. Bagent did not practice today either. The Bears deal with the Eagles on Monday night. Keenum is presently the most likely gamer to get the start today.[ 19659025]

  Tyson Bagent has actually not been cleared to practice while he works his method through the league’s concussion procedure. Caleb Williams (hamstring) is not likely to practice today, not to mention play. That leaves simply Keenum at quarterback on the active lineup. The Bears have an additional day to get healthy due to the fact that they use Monday night, however all indications indicate Keenum drawing the start. It will be tough to get any Chicago pass-catcher in dream lineups with Keenum under.

In Week 1, the Bears scored 59 points. In Week 3, they will possibly be beginning Case Keenum versus the Eagles. Life comes at you quick. Bagent will have an additional day to clear procedure since the Bears use Monday night, however we’ve seen groups be extremely mindful with concussions over the previous couple of years and it need to most likely be considered most likely than not that Bagent misses out on Week 3.

While he does not anticipate Williams to practice today, Johnson did not dismiss the possibility of him playing next Monday night versus the Eagles. Williams got favorable news on the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 2’s loss to the Vikings, however the Bears’ QB1 is still at danger of missing out on a minimum of one video game after Johnson called him” week-to-week” previously on Monday. It would not be unexpected if Johnson postponed calling a beginning QB as long as he can to provide himself a” competitive benefit” heading into Week 3. Dream supervisors rostering Williams will desire a contingency strategy in location heading into the week and must think about sitting Williams if Johnson does not dedicate to beginning him before Sunday’s video games start.

It was reported previously that Williams appears to have actually prevented severe injury after going through an MRI on Monday. The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero likewise stated that he might have a possibility to play in Week 3’s video game versus the Eagles, however it’s worth keeping in mind that Johnson likewise stated Williams “will likely miss out on a long time.” This is currently establishing to be an irritating injury for dream supervisors to browse, with the Bears set to use Monday night. We’ll see where things stand when the group launches its very first injury report of the week on Thursday, however if he can’t play, Tyson Bagent would get approval versus a stout Eagles defense.

This is as excellent of news as Bears fans might have wished for after their QB1 was hauled from the field with a towel over his head less than 24 hours earlier. It was reported after the video game that Williams remained in great spirits and walking the locker space after the group’s Week 2 loss to the Bears, and the early belief was that he had actually prevented any extreme injury. It’s safe to state that this definitely seems like a small experience at worst, based upon the current report, after the preliminary worry was that Williams might be taking a look at a prolonged lack. With an additional day off before Week 3’s Monday night video game versus the Eagles, Williams might have a genuine opportunity to wear without missing out on a video game. His name will be one to keep track of on the injury report, however dream supervisors might be pushed into choosing whether to run the risk of playing him if he winds up getting a doubtful classification tag come Saturday. If Williams is not able to play, Tyson Bagent would draw the start.

According to Florio, it “might be as small as a Grade 1” stress. Williams will go through more screening tomorrow to identify the intensity, at which point we must get an upgrade about an anticipated return timeline. Williams is supposedly in excellent spirits and is all set to assault his rehabilitation program. Williams hurt his best hamstring today, and Florio notes that Williams hurt his left hamstring in college. The Bears host the Eagles in Week 3’s Monday Night Football video game. Backup QB Tyson Bagent would begin in Williams’ stead if Williams is not able to play, though the additional day off might settle.[ 19659043][

Williams left the Bears’ 13-9, Week 2 loss to the Vikings after suffering a hamstring injury that at first had him rolling on the ground, yelling in discomfort. Quickly after the video game, several Chicago beat press reporters required to social networks to inform fans Williams had the ability to walk the locker space without crutches, however a minimum of 2 press reporters kept in mind that he appears to have a minor limp. In general, this is a motivating very first upgrade. Williams will go through extensive screening in the coming hours and days to figure out the injury’s intensity and his possible return timeline. Stay tuned.

  Kraft has not yet looked himself after recuperating from a torn ACL suffered in 2025, this time devoting 2 drops for the very first time in his profession. To include extra context, Kraft has actually never ever had more than 3 drops in a whole season entering his 4th year in the league. The strategy plainly included getting Kraft included early to prevent the offending line has a hard time, however the connection with Jordan Love was off throughout. Kraft appears most likely to require time to return to complete speed for the Packers, although his snaps and path involvement rate were back to typical for the 2nd successive week. Dream supervisors are likely required to ride through the turbulence thinking about the state of the tight end position throughout the league, however he is an unsteady start ahead of a Week 4 match with the Buccaneers.

  Watson now has 4 goals through 3 video games while ranking one target behind Matthew Golden for the group lead at 29. Even much better news for dream supervisors is the reality that we’re most likely to see this unexpected spike in pass volume continue forward provided the present state of the Green Bay backfield and offending line, indicating dream supervisors can continue to begin Watson as a genuine WR1 ahead of a roadway conference with the pass-funnel Buccaneers in Week 4.

  Matthew Golden captured 5-of-12 targets for 100 lawns and a goal in the Packers’ Week 3 loss to the Falcons.
  

  It took Golden deep into the 4th quarter of Week 3 of his sophomore project to notch his very first routine season goal, doing so by making a good modification on a ball tossed behind him on a slant at a loss zone. Golden leads the Packers with 30 targets through 3 video games and must continue to bring weekly WR3 production, with advantage for WR2 output, while running as the X-type receiver in a Matt LaFleur offense. Increasing those opportunities is an offending line that ranks as one of the worst systems in the league that is coupled with the lack of Josh Jacobs to bring no run video game assistance to Jordan Love and the Packers, making increased weekly pass volume something we’re most likely to see continue in the instant future. Golden is an upside WR2 ahead of a Week 4 match versus the pass-funnel Buccaneers.

  The 2 backs integrated for the only 8 running back rush efforts on a night the Packers’offending line was totally manhandled by an aggressive and athletic Atlanta front. Lloyd took his 4 brings for 11 lawns while Johnson handled just 6 on his 4 totes. Both backs were targeted 3 times through the air, with Johnson opting for 10 lawns on one reception and Lloyd handling simply 7 lawns on 2 grabs. This backfield is a total mess in the middle of Josh Jacobs’lack and installing injuries along the offending line, with neither back anywhere near a functional dream property ahead of a Week 4 roadway match with the pass-funnel Buccaneers.

  Love was entirely overrun by constant pressure throughout on a night the Packers tried 53 passes to simply 8 running back brings. The Atlanta protective line made the most of installing injuries and inadequate play along the Green Bay offending line to interrupt any offending rhythm for the Packers. Love’s 2 goals went to his leading 2 alternatives through the air in Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, the latter of whom notched the very first routine season goal of his young profession late in the 4th quarter. Matt LaFleur, Love, and the rest of the Packers have some substantial work to do if they are to conserve their rapidly sinking season. Love is up to a middling QB2 ahead of a roadway match with an aggressive Buccaneers defense in Week 4.
