Caleb Williams isn’t expected to suit up this Sunday against the Packers, even after hitting the practice field for the first time since his Week 2 hamstring injury. It’s a tough pill to swallow for Bears fans who were probably hoping for some magic after seeing him out there. He’s officially questionable, but the vibe is clear: he’s likely out.
Williams On The Field, But Still Sidelined
Williams’ limited practice session was his first action since that hamstring issue sidelined him back in Week 2. While it’s not enough to get him back on the field this weekend, the report says this limited participation bodes well for his availability in Week 6 when the Bears face Atlanta. For now, Tyson Bagent is getting the call to start against the Packers. It’s not the news anyone wanted, especially with a divisional rival coming to town.
Bears’ Injury Report Is Getting Gnarly
Williams isn’t the only one battling it out in the trainer’s room. The Bears have officially ruled out linebacker Keyshaun Elliott with a quad injury and running back Kyle Monangai due to thumb and toe issues. On top of that, defensive back Kyler Gordon (calf), linebacker Noah Sewell (Achilles), and defensive lineman Shemar Turner (knee) are all questionable. Gordon, Sewell, and Turner are at least in their 21-day return-to-practice window from reserve/PUP, so there’s some movement there. Still, that’s a whole lot of question marks heading into a critical game.
So while Tyson Bagent gets the nod against the Packers, all eyes are already on Week 6. Can Williams actually make it back for Atlanta? Bears fans are holding their breath, no doubt.
