Bears head coach Ben Johnson hasn’t named a starting quarterback for Week 6 yet, but it continues to look like it could be Caleb Williams making his return against the Falcons.
Williams has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, but he returned to practice as a limited participant last Friday. The Bears will only hold a walkthrough on Wednesday and Johnson told reporters at a press conference that Williams will be listed as a full participant on their estimated practice report.
Johnson said things are “still fluid” when it comes to who will start against the Falcons, but Williams remaining full once the team moves to a normal practice later this week would seem to be a good sign for his chances of playing this weekend.
Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum have handled the quarterback work in Williams’s absence.
