Did the Jets catch an early injury break in their upcoming Week 4 game vs. the Bears?, tell me about this news in (https://jetswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/jets/2026/09/21/did-jets-catch-an-early-break-in-their-upcoming-week-4-game-vs-bears/91877366007/)

Yes, the New York Jets appear to have caught an early injury break ahead of their Week 4 matchup against the Chicago Bears.
During the fourth quarter of the Bears’ Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams suffered a non-contact hamstring injury and had to be carted off the field. Following medical evaluations, Bears head coach Ben Johnson announced that Williams is considered “week-to-week” and is expected to miss time.
With Williams sidelined, he is expected to miss Chicago’s Week 3 contest, making it highly likely that he will also be unable to suit up in time for the Week 4 game against New York. If Williams cannot play or remains significantly limited, the Bears will turn to backup quarterback Tyson Bagent. Facing Bagent rather than the dynamic, mobile starter presents a major tactical advantage for the Jets’ defense as they head into Chicago.
