Reports: Caleb Williams to Start for Bears Sunday
Caleb Williams is on track to return after missing three games, and Chicago has gone 2-1 with backup quarterbacks in his absence.
- On Sunday, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams will start against the Atlanta Falcons after missing three games due to a torn hamstring, sources confirmed Saturday.
- Williams suffered the hamstring tear on September 20 during a Week 2 loss to the Minnesota Vikings while scrambling toward the end zone. He disputed reports characterizing the injury as mild, calling it "pretty serious."
- After participating fully in practice this week and passing medical protocols, Williams signaled his return via social media. He updated his Instagram bio to "I'm inevitable" and reposted a TikTok video celebrating his recovery.
- Despite a 2-1 record while Williams was sidelined, the Bears offense collapsed in last Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Backup Tyson Bagent completed 12-of-21 passes for 87 yards and two interceptions before being benched.
- The Bears face a demanding stretch ahead, including games against the New England Patriots and defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Head coach Ben Johnson believes an "angry and motivated" Williams could be the spark needed to keep the team above.500.
