Return to the Lineup
The Bears intend to start Caleb Williams on Sunday against the Falcons. He has been out for three games after suffering a torn hamstring. The quarterback completed a full week of practice without setbacks and took starter reps in sessions later in the week. The team has listed him as questionable for the matchup in Atlanta.
Progress Through the Week
Williams entered the week expecting to play if no problems arose during preparation. His participation in full practices confirmed his availability. Chicago coach Ben Johnson indicated late in the week that the quarterback was on track to play. A video reposted by Williams highlighted his return following earlier criticism.
Record in His Absence
The Bears posted a 2-1 mark across the three games without Williams despite several absences on the roster. Case Keenum started one contest in a Week 3 win over the Eagles while Tyson Bagent handled the other two games and finished 1-1.
