Chicago Bears Quarterback Caleb Williams Feels Ready to Test Injured Hamstring Against Atlanta
Williams is back after missing three games, and the Bears say his return gives their offense a chance to regain rhythm.
- On Sunday, Oct. 18, 2026, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams started against the Atlanta Falcons after missing three games with a right hamstring injury.
- Williams suffered the hamstring tear during a 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 20, while backup quarterbacks Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent led the Bears to a 2-1 record during his absence.
- After completing a full week of practice without setbacks, Williams passed medical protocols and stress tests before throwing for 305 yards and a touchdown in the 31-23 victory.
- Chicago improves to 3-2 with the win and immediately faces a compressed schedule, hosting the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football just four days later.
- Williams publicly disputed media characterizations of his injury, describing it as a 'pretty serious' hamstring tear while declining to disclose the specific medical grade.
