Tyson Bagent is set to lead the Chicago Bears indefinitely after Caleb Williams suffered a non-contact hamstring injury during Chicago's 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at Soldier Field in Week 2. Williams left the game and did not return, leaving Bagent and head coach Ben Johnson to address the team's next steps.
The news came after a difficult outing for Chicago, which lost to Minnesota in what Sports Illustrated described as a sloppy effort. Despite losing Williams, neither Bagent nor Johnson focused on the setback when discussing the challenge ahead and instead looked towards Week 3.
