Caleb Williams injury update

Williams suffered a hamstring injury Sept. 20 against the Vikings and has missed three consecutive starts.

“It was a hamstring tear, and a pretty serious one.”

Williams practices fully

He went through individual drills wearing a black sleeve on his right leg during practice Thursday and looked agile.

Williams' injury status

Williams doesn't know if he'll get the green light to play against the Falcons but says the injury has not fully healed.

“It’s been fun to deal with because... there’s nothing that has come out that has been right about what it is”

Williams' injury grade

Williams says he suffered a tear in his hamstring but refuses to reveal the grade of the injury.

“I wouldn’t say it’s deserved to be out there”

Williams' speed and strength

Williams said he can move, run, and hit top speeds, claiming he has strength and can play to his usual form.

“I can move, I can run. I hit a top speed the other day, one of my highest speeds I’ve ever hit... I’ve got strength”

Williams' injury claims

Williams objected to past reporting on his injury, saying none of it has been accurate and he has been misrepresented.

“If you haven’t heard it from [Ben Johnson] or me, it would probably be wrong, which every single one has been”

Williams' emotional response

Williams made no apology for crying after the injury and said his character has been attacked for a while.

“My character’s been attacked for a while, it’s just another motivating factor”

Injury grade context

Hamstring strains range from Grade 1 (minor tearing) to Grade 3 (complete tear), with Grade 2 taking about a month to recover.

Williams' next game

Williams expects to play Sunday against the Falcons after practicing fully and saying he can run and hit top speeds.
