Bears' Ben Johnson Pumps Breaks on Possible Caleb Williams Week 6 Injury Return
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson discussed quarterback Caleb Williams' injury status on Monday ahead of Week 6.
The Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is set to return for the team's Week 6 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport. Williams missed the past three games due to a hamstring injury, with his last appearance coming in the fourth quarter of a loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2. Head coach Ben Johnson refrained from confirming Williams' return for the Atlanta game, but all indications suggest the former No. 1 overall pick will suit up.
With Williams sidelined, journeyman quarterbacks Case Keenum and fourth-year pro Tyson Bagent have taken turns starting for the Bears. Keenum and Bagent failed to match Williams' recent performance, with the quarterback losing to the Green Bay Packers by a score of 31-7. Williams has thrown for 407 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception in his two games this season, while also contributing 15 carries for 107 yards and 2 scores.
Bagent's statistics this season are less impressive, with 409 passing yards, 3 interceptions, and no touchdowns.
