Caleb Williams is officially active for the Bears’ 1 p.m. ET game in Atlanta this Sunday, a huge pivot for Chicago after he missed the last three weeks. Signs pointed to his return all week, but seeing it made official changes the whole vibe for the Bears’ offense.
The QB1’s Comeback Trail
Williams had been sidelined since Chicago’s Week 2 loss to the Vikings with a hamstring injury. It was a tough blow, keeping their top guy off the field for a solid chunk of the early season. He was listed as questionable on the final injury report, which always makes you hold your breath a little, right? But the dude was a full participant in practice all week, grinding hard to get back. Plus, he even dropped a comeback-themed video on social media Friday night, practically screaming he was ready to roll. You gotta love that energy.
Penix Ready to Back Him Up
Now, while Williams is back, let’s not forget about Michael Penix. He’s listed as the other active quarterback for Sunday, and his own recovery story is pretty wild. Penix was forced out of last weekend’s game against the Ravens with injured ribs. But talk about bouncing back quickly! He was also a full practice participant this week and holds no injury designation. It’s good to know the Bears have two healthy arms ready to go, especially with how brutal the NFL can be on QBs.
Williams is stepping back onto the field to face the Falcons in their 1 p.m. ET matchup. It is a big test for him to shake off the rust and get back into rhythm, and Bears fans are absolutely buzzing to see their signal-caller back under center.
