ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Saturday afternoon that the quarterback has had no setbacks, and all signs point to him starting Sunday.

Williams has been sidelined for the last three weeks. The Chicago QB suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings. When Williams went down at the end of the game, his reaction led many to worry he would miss significant time.
He was diagnosed with a hamstring strain, but it was still enough to sideline him for three weeks. Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum managed a 2-1 record in his absence.
In two games this season, Williams has thrown for 407 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The quarterback has used his legs well this season, picking up 107 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries.
Chicago is 3-2 and coming off a loss to the Green Bay Packers. Bagent got the start, but he struggled to figure out the Packers’ defense. The team benched him in the second half in favor of Keenum.
Bagent’s last drive ended in an interception before halftime. Keenum’s first second-half drive ended with an interception in the endzone.
The veteran Keenum was the hero in Chicago’s Week 4 blowout of the Philadelphia Eagles. Against Green Bay, though, Keenum finished 11 of 19 passing for 108 yards with an interception and a fumble lost. Bagent was 12 of 21 for just 21 yards with two picks.
