Bears' Caleb Williams 'Ok' After Suffering Ankle Injury in Loss to Cardinals

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams appears to have avoided a major injury late in Sunday's loss against the Arizona Cardinals.

Both Williams and head coach Matt Eberflus confirmed after the game that the injury wasn't serious.

Any injury to Williams is going will be a concern for the Bears considering they made him the face of the franchise and quarterback of the present and future when they selected him with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 NFL draft.

They also traded Justin Fields during the same offseason, underscoring their belief in Williams' ability to lead them into the postseason.

Williams won the Heisman Trophy at USC during the 2022 campaign and remained atop draft boards while throwing for 30 touchdowns and five interceptions in 2023. He has appeared in eight games as a rookie, throwing for nine touchdowns and five interceptions.

The Bears likely need Williams back and healthy if they are going to make a run for the playoffs. Despite Sunday's disappointing loss, the team's second in a row, the Bears remain 4-4 and firmly in the NFC playoff picture.
