Caleb Williams just stepped back onto the field for the first time since Week 2, and his opening drive against the Falcons ended with a BANG. Williams, who has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, wasted absolutely no time reminding everyone what he brings to the game, capping off his first possession with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Colston Loveland.
Williams Looks Healthy as Ever on Return
That opening drive was an absolute clinic, a 10-play, 67-yard march that felt dominant from the jump. Williams looked completely healthy, shaking off any rust from his Week 2 hamstring injury. He showed off that signature playmaking ability on the touchdown throw, rolling right to escape pressure like it was nothing, slinging the ball on the run, and placing it perfectly where Loveland could snag it in traffic. That’s the kind of play that makes you jump off your couch, right? It was pure magic and a massive statement after being out for so long.
Tricks, Carries, and a Glimpse of More
The Bears’ offense wasn’t just Williams’ highlight reel though. Head coach Ben Johnson got a little spicy with a hook-and-ladder trick play early on, with Williams passing to Rome Odunze, who then lateraled to Roschon Johnson for a crucial 14-yard gain. Roschon Johnson hasn’t seen a ton of action this season, but on that opening drive, they made sure he was involved, giving him two carries for 17 yards in addition to that trick play reception. Yeah, there was a delay of game penalty, so it wasn’t absolutely perfect, but honestly, it was pretty darn close. Williams looks like he is absolutely primed for a monster day.
