"“All that for a pulled hammy": The entire internet is now mocking Caleb Williams after his dramatic exit over Bears QB's injury
Antonio Brown has once again found himself at the center of an NFL social-media storm and this time, Caleb Williams is the target. The former NFL wide receiver appeared to have no sympathy for the Chicago Bears quarterback after Williams was carted off during Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. As fans worried about the young QB’s health, Brown jumped into the conversation with a post that quickly turned heads for all the wrong reasons.
Antonio Brown mocks Caleb Williams after scary moment
Brown shared a SportsCenter post showing Williams leaving the field on a cart after suffering an apparent injury. The ESPN post noted that Williams was emotional as he left the field and gave the crowd a thumbs-up.
Brown’s response was far less sympathetic.
“All that for a pulled hammy?” Brown wrote before adding a homophobic slur.
The post immediately added a controversial twist to what had already been a worrying moment for Bears fans. Williams had gone down during the fourth quarter of Chicago’s 9-3 loss to Minnesota. The quarterback was scrambling toward the goal line when he suddenly appeared to grab the back of his right leg. He was helped from the field before eventually being taken to the locker room on a cart.
For a moment, the scene looked considerably more serious than a routine injury. Williams could be seen visibly emotional as he was carted off the field, although he also appeared to reassure the crowd with a thumbs-up.
And that was apparently the moment fans decided to enter the chat.
Bears fans get better news on Williams
There was, however, some relief for Chicago after the initial scare. Williams underwent an MRI Monday, and the results did not show a significant hamstring injury. That was welcome news after the quarterback's dramatic exit from Sunday's game.
Still, the Bears are not completely out of the woods.
Head coach Ben Johnson said Williams is considered “week to week” and is likely to miss some time. Williams has not been officially ruled out of Chicago’s Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, but the team will have to monitor his recovery closely.
If Williams cannot play, backup quarterback Tyson Bagent would be next in line. While the Bears now have some optimism surrounding Williams’ injury, Brown’s post has created a separate conversation.
The former Pittsburgh Steelers star has developed a reputation for making provocative comments online, and his reaction to Williams’ injury quickly became the headline itself.
There is also an obvious contrast between the two posts: SportsCenter highlighted Williams’ emotional reaction and gesture toward the fans, while Brown chose to mock the injury and question the quarterback’s response.
