The Chicago Bears suffered a rough loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 5, and many were calling for Caleb Williams, who was out once again due to his hamstring injury. There is good news regarding Williams, as he is supposed to be back on the field next week against the Atlanta Falcons, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

“The fact that Caleb Williams was working out before the game in a pretty strenuous workout, looking pretty good, looking like himself,” Rapoport said. “This is a very good sign. My understanding at the beginning of this whole thing was three to four weeks with a hamstring. He has missed three weeks; the fourth week is next week. He was working out hard before the game and returned to practice the Friday before.

“All signs point to Caleb Williams being back on the field this week for Chicago, which, considering how it went this past Sunday, would be quite good news.”
