The Chicago Bears are delaying any announcement regarding their starting quarterback for the upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons. Reporter Brad Biggs confirmed that the team will hold a walk-through on Wednesday rather than a full practice, pushing the regular starting quarterback's media session back to an undetermined day and keeping the starting decision unconfirmed.

Starting quarterback Caleb Williams continues to deal with a hamstring injury, leaving his availability uncertain after missing a 24-point loss to the Green Bay Packers. Head coach Ben Johnson has not committed to backup Tyson Bagent or third-string option Case Keenum, both of whom committed multiple turnovers against Green Bay.
