Bears Estimate Caleb Williams as Non-Participant With Hamstring Issue
The short version
- Caleb Williams was listed as a non-participant Thursday with a hamstring issue.
- The Bears did not practice Thursday, so the designation is an estimation.
- Williams has not been ruled out for Week 3.
- He has been described as a low-end No. 1 fantasy quarterback if cleared.
Chicago did not actually practice Thursday, but listed its quarterback as a non-participant with a hamstring designation ahead of Week 3.
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was listed as a non-participant on the team's Thursday practice report due to a hamstring issue, according to Bears Communications.
The designation comes with an asterisk: the Bears did not actually hold a practice Thursday, so the report is an estimation of his participation level rather than a true on-field observation.
Williams has not been ruled out for Chicago's Week 3 game at this point, leaving his status a question for later in the week. Fantasy players in particular were advised to monitor updates as the week progresses.
According to the report, Williams has opened the season with a solid start, and if he is cleared to play, he can serve as a low-end No. 1 fantasy quarterback option.
The original report appeared via USA TODAY and Yahoo Sports.
