Bears coach says Caleb Williams making progress toward possible return

After Chicago’s 31-7 loss to Green Bay, Bears coach Ben Johnson said quarterback Caleb Williams is making progress from a Grade 2 hamstring strain and could return for next week’s game against Atlanta, though the timing remains uncertain. Williams returned to limited practice Friday but was inactive against the Packers; he is pushing to play in Week 6 as he reaches the expected recovery window. The Bears’ backup quarterbacks struggled in the loss, combining for three interceptions, which intensified calls for Williams’ return.
