Story summary

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams returned to full practice participation on Thursday for the first time in nearly a month but faced reporters' questions about his hamstring injury with frustration. During a press conference, Williams refused to disclose the medical grade of his "pretty serious" hamstring tear, telling reporters it was not deserving of attention after what he described as incorrect national reporting. When asked directly about the injury's severity, Williams said, “It’s not deserving,” and ended the line of questioning abruptly. He initially injured his hamstring late in Chicago’s Week 2 loss to Minnesota, pulling up lame during a fourth-quarter scramble before being carted off in visible tears. Williams criticized media reports for inaccuracies, stating that every report about his injury has been wrong since it did not come directly from him or his team.
