The Chicago Bears plan to start Caleb Williams at quarterback in Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, ending the star signalcaller's three-game absence due to a torn hamstring. Williams, who last played on Sept. 20 against the Minnesota Vikings, completed a full practice week without setbacks and took starter reps, earning the starting job back from coach Ben Johnson. The Bears have listed Williams as questionable but expect him to play.
Chicago went 2-1 during Williams' absence, with Case Keenum defeating the Eagles and backup Tyson Bagent splitting time. Williams celebrated his return with a TikTok video referencing 'The Bear' and his Week 2 cart exit, signaling his readiness to return to form.
