Caleb Williams’ return seems imminent after Bears practice update

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, signaling a potential return against the Atlanta Falcons. Williams had been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 2. While head coach Ben Johnson confirmed Williams's full participation, he stopped short of officially naming him the starting quarterback for Sunday's matchup.

The Atlanta Falcons also confirmed starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will start after practicing fully following a rib injury. Williams recorded 407 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, one interception, and two rushing scores across two appearances prior to his injury, with Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent serving as his replacements.
