Bears and Vikings face roster shortages due to key injuries

The Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings are facing significant roster challenges due to key injuries heading into Week 3.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is dealing with a hamstring injury and is expected to miss Monday night’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Veteran Case Keenum is positioned to start in his place, while undrafted rookie Miller Moss remains part of the quarterback rotation. Head coach Ben Johnson noted that the team is working through the situation to ensure sound play execution.

Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings are facing a crisis in their backfield. Veteran running back Aaron Jones is sidelined with a knee injury and missed Wednesday's practice. With Jordan Mason already on injured reserve due to a broken thumb, the Vikings may have to rely on depth options including DeeJay Dallas, Demond Claiborne, Jerome Ford, or Jaret Patterson for their upcoming matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
