That was a nice statement start for Caleb Williams: I'm the first-round quarterback here. Perfect blend of his off-script athleticism and Ben Johnson's space-opening designs. Couldn't have been much better for Chicago.

Vikings inactives: Minnesota missing star safety

Here's a complete look at the Vikings' inactives for their prime-time opener:

QB Max Brosmer

RB Zavier Scott

OT Christian Darrisaw

OG Joe Huber

DL Elijah Williams

S Harrison Smith

The biggest absentee is easily Smith, the six-time Pro Bowler who's been sidelined with an undisclosed personal illness. Theo Jackson will be tasked with stepping up on the back end of Brian Flores' defense alongside captain Josh Metellus. Also glaringly absent is Darrisaw, the former first-rounder at left tackle. J.J. McCarthy's blind side will likely be protected by Justin Skule.
