What happened: Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is officially inactive against the Green Bay Packers. He participated in a pregame workout to test his hamstring but will sit out the contest.

Why it matters: The Packers avoid facing the starting quarterback today, shifting the dynamic of the matchup. Sitting Williams provides him an opportunity to heal for a potential return next week while preventing further aggravation.

What to watch: Chicago will monitor his recovery progress throughout the week to determine his availability for the next game.
