Stroud | The Craig Carton Show OutKick-Sports Jaxson Dart walks off field after injury, creating an instant contrast to Caleb Williams' emotional exit The Chicago Bears QB's emotional reaction to a pulled hamstring drew sharp contrast with Jaxson Dart's MCL injury exit Two franchise quarterbacks suffered lower-body injuries in Week 2. One went down with a reported MCL injury to his left knee that could result in him being sidelined for weeks, while the other suffered what is being described as a Grade 1 hamstring strain and, as of this writing, has yet to be ruled out for his team's Week 3 contest. If you had to guess which of the two quarterbacks walked off the field and into the locker room on his own power, you'd go with the second quarterback. If you were forced to pick which of the two was carted off the field and sobbed with a towel over his head, you'd understandably go with quarterback number one. Jaxson Dart #6 of the New York Giants walks off the field after a play against the Los Angeles Rams during the first quarter of the game at SoFi Stadium on September 21, 2026 in Inglewood, California. New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart took an awkward, mid-air hit during the first quarter of his team's eventual loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night and did not return to the game.

When the Chicago Bears kick off against the Minnesota Vikings for their 2026 home opener on Sunday, it will mark the start of their 55th season at Soldier Field. It also may be the last. Hammond, Indiana, certainly hopes it is. The Bears announced in June that they were moving forward with stadium development plans across state lines in Hammond, Indiana. This isn't the first time the Bears have talked about moving to Indiana, as there were discussions in the late 1990s, but none were serious.

The Green Bay Packers lost to the Minnesota Vikings last week, but Micah Parsons said it was a great lesson. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, Kevin Wildes, and Greg Jennings ask if the Packers should be worried, if Tennessee Titans DT Jeffery Simmons saying that they just need to make Jalen Hurts be a QB is disrespectful, and if the Chicago Bears can break the NFL scoring record of 606 points in a season. We've got our second week of action in the NFL, and that means there is a full slate of action for us to chew on for betting. Last week was an okay week overall for football betting, but I'm looking to go perfect on today's plays.
