Caleb Williams is back and ready for action this Sunday. The Chicago Bears starting quarterback is set to make his return on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons after missing the last three weeks with a torn hamstring injury, according to multiple reports.
Williams will take the field for the first time since Week 2 when he suffered his torn hamstring injury during a 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Since then, the Bears have relied on backup quarterbacks Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum to lead them to a 2-1 record while Williams recovered.
Last Friday, Williams returned to practice in a limited capacity and went through a rigorous throwing session prior to the 31-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Since then, he has logged full practices each day this week and has been trending upwards when it came to returning to the field, though neither he nor head coach Ben Johnson would confirm he would be back. Now it's all but official, and Williams will take on fellow 2024 first-round quarterback Michael Penix in a pivotal NFC showdown.
In two games this season, Williams has thrown for 407 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while also adding two rushing touchdowns., though he nor head coach Ben Johnson would confirm he would be back.
