Caleb Williams has missed the last two Chicago Bears games after the quarterback suffered a hamstring injury against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2, but there might be good news on the horizon for the QB as he gets set for a return.
On Friday, he returned to practice for some limited work, and he's now been deemed questionable for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. While it 's possible he could return for that contest -- and who knows, maybe this is a sign he could play? -- it feels like a good sign that he'll be ready to practice more next week ahead of the Bears next game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Caleb Williams (hamstring) was back at practice today in limited capacity. He is officially QUESTIONABLE vs. Green Bay.

Here’s video
of Caleb Williams back at practice Friday. On Monday, Ben Johnson said that Williams is “not going to be there for us this week” against Green Bay and said Tyson Bagent “will be the guy.” Now Williams is listed as QUESTIONABLE for Week 5 against the Packers. pic.twitter.com/Ic4xv8oI8e

Will Caleb Williams play for the Bears in Week 5?
He's questionable, so theoretically it's possible, but we'll see if there's more news that tells us what's happening either way. Given that it was a limited practice and head coach Ben Johnson said on Monday that Tyson Bagent was going to play, it seems more likely Williams might be back in Week 6.
