Caleb Williams is expected to be activated for the Chicago Bears’ Week 6 road game against the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Yeah, you read that right: Williams is back! NFL Media dropped the report Saturday morning, confirming what a lot of us were hoping for.
The Return: From Cart-Off to Kickoff
It feels like forever since we saw Williams on the field, right? He’s been sidelined for the last three games with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, a nasty one that had him carted off. It looked rough! In his absence, Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent stepped up, and credit where it’s due, they held it down, going 2-1. That means the Bears are sitting at a pretty solid 3-2 on the year. Williams even gave us a little hint on TikTok, posting a video of that cart-off and then some highlights. You just knew he was itching to get back in there.
What We’ve Seen From Williams
In the two starts he made this season before getting hurt, Williams showed exactly why everyone’s so hyped about him. He racked up 407 passing yards, threw two touchdowns, and only had one interception, all while sporting a 92.0 passer rating and completing 65.5% of his passes. And let’s not forget his legs! He rushed for 107 yards and punched in two touchdowns. Remember Week 1? Williams and the Bears absolutely dropped the hammer, putting up 59 points in a road victory over the Carolina Panthers. That was an explosion! Last season, his 2025 campaign, he wasn’t just good, he was lights out: 3,942 passing yards, 27 touchdowns, seven interceptions, a 90.1 passer rating, and completed 58.1% of his throws. Plus, he added 388 rushing yards and three more scores on the ground. This dude is a dual-threat menace.
Now he’s back, and the Bears are heading to Atlanta for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. Can Williams pick up right where he left off? Will he spark that offense to another huge outing? We’re about to find out. This is gonna be good.
