Bears quarterback Caleb Williams returns to practice and is questionable for game with Packers

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams engaged in light practice on Friday and is categorized as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Williams has been sidelined since September 20 due to a right hamstring strain sustained during a 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Bears head coach Ben Johnson had previously stated Williams would not play this weekend, but his return to practice on Friday altered that assessment.

The Bears have triumphed in both games since Williams' injury, with Case Keenum taking his place in victories over the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets. Should Williams be unable to play, backup quarterback Tyson Bagent is slated to start in their Sunday game against the Packers (2-2). In addition to Williams, Bears running back Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) and linebacker Keyshaun Elliott (quadriceps) are ruled out for Sunday's game.

Meanwhile, Green Bay has ruled out running back Chris Brooks and wide receiver Savion Williams due to ankle injuries, while guards Aaron Banks and Jacob Monk and center/guard Jager Burton are doubtful, and defensive tackles Anthony Campbell and Javon Hargrave are questionable.
