CHICAGO – As the media gathered around backup quarterback Tyson Bagent in the Bears locker room, Caleb Williams came through for a quick stop at his own stall.
He was in slides, shorts and a T-shirt.
He carried a drink and some snacks.
And he didn’t have a distinguishable limp.
Williams moved through the crowded locker room – navigating past all the bins full of equipment, the balls of tape and towels left on the ground and wandering media members – under his own power after suffering a hamstring injury late in the Bears’ 9-3 loss on a soggy Sunday at Soldier Field.
He didn’t require the help of crutches as he left with Bears security personnel and walked through the corridors of the Bears’ home field toward the players’ exit. Left tackle Braxton Jones also said Williams came through the locker room and shook everyone’s hands.
