Chicago Bears Quarterback Caleb Williams Feels Ready to Test Injured Hamstring Against Atlanta
Williams is trending toward a return after three missed games, though he still must clear medical tests before the Bears decide on his status.
- Quarterback Caleb Williams returned to the starting lineup on Sunday, October 18, 2026, against the Atlanta Falcons after missing three games with a right hamstring injury.
- Williams suffered the hamstring tear in the fourth quarter against the Minnesota Vikings on September 20, 2026, ending a run of 36 consecutive regular-season starts dating to his NFL debut.
- During Thursday's media availability, Williams disputed reports characterizing his injury as a 'Grade 2' strain, calling it a "pretty serious" tear while declining to specify the medical grade.
- Williams threw for 305 yards and a touchdown in the victory over Atlanta, moving the Bears to 4-2 on the season with an efficient performance.
- The Bears face a short turnaround, hosting the New England Patriots at Soldier Field on Thursday night in a compressed schedule that tests Williams' durability upon return.
