Chicago Bears Quarterback Caleb Williams Feels Ready to Test Injured Hamstring Against Atlanta
Caleb Williams is trending toward a return after a full week of practice, and the Bears say final clearance is still pending.
- On Sunday, October 18, 2026, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams returned to the starting lineup, leading the team to a 31-23 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Atlanta.
- Williams missed three games after sustaining a right hamstring injury during the Week 2 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on September 20, 2026, then participated fully in practice throughout the week.
- In his return, Williams completed 30 of 36 passes for 305 yards and one touchdown, demonstrating efficiency as the Bears capitalized on special teams plays to build an early lead.
- Defensive back Kyler Gordon anchored Chicago's defense with three sacks and two forced fumbles, including a critical late-game strip-sack on Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. to secure the win.
- The Bears now host the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football just four days after their Atlanta victory, testing team depth and Williams' durability in a condensed schedule.
