Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was taken to the locker room on a cart after appearing to suffer a leg injury during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, according to NBC Sports. The injury occurred on a scramble, when Williams fell without being contacted by a defender, ESPN reports.
NBC Sports described the injury as non-contact. NFL.com reported that Williams was carted into the locker room with an apparent injury. NBC News also reported that Williams was carted off with an apparent leg injury.
The Bears have not yet announced the nature or severity of the injury, and no official diagnosis has been reported by any of the outlets covering the game.
Williams, Chicago's starting quarterback, was injured on a play in which he left the pocket to run. The lack of contact on the play is notable because non-contact leg injuries often raise concern about damage to ligaments or other structures, though no such details have been confirmed in this case.
Multiple outlets, including NBC Sports, NFL.com, ESPN and NBC News, reported the sequence of events, with ESPN specifying that Williams fell on the scramble before leaving the field on the cart.
What to watch next: the Bears' official update on Williams' condition and whether he will miss time.
