Caleb Williams expected to start for Bears against Falcons

Summary

Quarterback Caleb Williams is slated to return from a hamstring injury and start for the Chicago Bears in Sunday’s game versus the Atlanta Falcons.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is expected to return to the lineup for Sunday’s matchup against the Atlanta Falcons after missing the previous three weeks with a hamstring injury. Williams posted a video on social media on Friday that indicated his readiness to play, and multiple reports on Saturday confirmed his status as the starter.

The Bears listed Williams as questionable on Friday, though he participated fully in practice throughout the week. The team won its first two games without him, but struggled in a loss to the Green Bay Packers when Tyson Bagent filled in at quarterback.

"We’re excited to have Caleb back and look forward to his leadership on the field," a Bears spokesperson said.

The Bears enter the game with a 3-2 record, while the Falcons sit at 2-3.
