UPDATE: Williams is staying in the game.
UPDATE: It does not appear Williams is getting any medical attention and he's sitting on the bench, so that's a good sign for his chances of staying in the game.
Williams hobbled off the field after turning his ankle. He appeared to be moving a bit better once he got to the sideline, but ESPN's Courtney Cronin reports that Williams looked "visibly frustrated" and is talking to Chicago's backup quarterbacks.
"Caleb Williams looks visibly frustrated on the bench. He's talking to Case Keenum while Tyson Bagent has a tablet in hand to the left of the other QBs," Cronin wrote.
