Pro Football Hall of Famer Troy Aikman expressed concern for Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams on Monday night amid a woeful season that saw the Bears’ losing streak drop to eight straight with a loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Williams took a big hit from Vikings linebacker Jihad Ward during the second half of the Bears’ 30-12 loss, but the rookie’s mental fitness appeared to be a bigger concern for Aikman than his physical fitness.
"When you mentioned we were watching him on the sidelines, he was grimacing and in an enormous amount of pain," Aikman said to Joe Buck during the ESPN broadcast, via The New York Post.
