  "account": "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.",
