While hamstring injuries are typically soft-tissue, the timeline isn’t clear, and backup Tyson Bagent is prepared to start if Williams can’t play.
Caleb Williams left the Bears' loss to the Vikings with a leg injury later described as a hamstring issue. An MRI on Monday will determine the severity, with a possible Grade 1 diagnosis discussed; if Williams is sidelined, Case Keenum would start in the short term while Williams recovers.
Caleb Williams will undergo an MRI on Monday to gauge the severity of a hamstring injury, with optimism that it’s a Grade 1 strain. If confirmed, he could still be out for Monday Night Football against the Eagles depending on the timeline, in which case Tyson Bagent would start, a quarterback the Bears trust after limited action and a recent extension.
Saquon Barkley suffered a neck/shoulder stinger on the opening play of the Eagles’ Week 2 game against the Titans, left to the medical tent, returned at halftime to play into the third quarter, and departed again; he will undergo an MRI to assess the injury. With Barkley out, Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley contributed, and Philadelphia shuffled the line—Cam Jurgens to left guard and Drew Kendall at center after Landon Dickerson went IR. Barkley had a quiet Week 1, recording one carry for zero yards.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport says Ravens wideout Zay Flowers’ hamstring injury after Week 1’s win over the Colts is not considered serious. Flowers will have an MRI to confirm severity, but sources indicate he would likely have returned if it were a playoff game and he’s currently day-to-day with a good chance to play Week 2 against the Saints. He already flashed big playability in Week 1, catching 5 passes for 150 yards and a TD in the first half as Baltimore led 31-13.
Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers will have an MRI on Monday after re-aggravating the hamstring he spent weeks rehabbing, leaving his Week 2 availability vs. the Saints in doubt following a 5-150-1 Week 1 performance.
A study of more than 11,000 adults followed for three years found that exposure to light during sleep, even at low levels above about 3 lux, was associated with changes in heart muscle structure and function seen on MRI, compared with those who slept in darkness; researchers note limitations and call for further research.
A large study of over 11,000 people without heart disease tracked nighttime light exposure for seven days and followed up with cardiac MRIs three years later, finding that exposure to light levels above 3 lux during sleep was associated with changes in heart muscle shape and function compared with those with no light exposure; 3 lux is roughly moonlight. The study, published in the European Heart Journal, notes limitations in testing duration and sensor methods and calls for further research.
AI-augmented MRI analysis shows the brain’s glymphatic waste-clearing system works at two speeds: fluid moves quickly (microns per second) in open areas near the skull and much slower—about 50 times slower—in dense brain tissue during deep sleep, offering insight into Alzheimer’s risk and brain injury where slow circulation may impair waste removal.
49ers rookie De’Zhaun Stribling left the game with a left ankle injury, but initial checks indicate his Achilles is intact; he will undergo MRI to determine the ankle's severity and was ruled out after leaving the field.

Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown exited New England's season opener against the Seahawks with a high-ankle sprain and will undergo an MRI to determine his return timeline; he logged 3 catches for 26 yards in his debut before leaving with a boot after X-rays.
