Chicago Bears Quarterback Caleb Williams Feels Ready to Test Injured Hamstring Against Atlanta
Williams has passed practice tests and is awaiting final clearance from coaches and trainers after missing three games with a hamstring injury.
- Quarterback Caleb Williams will start for the Chicago Bears against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday after missing three games with a hamstring injury, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
- Williams suffered the hamstring injury during the Week 2 home opener against the Minnesota Vikings; the Bears went 2-1 in his absence but suffered a 31-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers that exposed their dependence on their starting quarterback.
- Coach Ben Johnson confirmed Williams is ready to play after he was a full participant in practice all week with no setbacks. Williams said on Thursday he hit one of his highest speeds running earlier in the week.
- Backup Tyson Bagent returns to the sideline with Case Keenum serving as emergency third-string quarterback. Across the field, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is active despite rib injuries from last week's 30-23 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
- The Bears face defensive challenges with Montez Sweat suspended for the next two games and Dayo Odeyingbo on injured reserve, forcing the team to stack wins before their Week 12 divisional matchup while holding a 3-2 record.
