A full week of practice for Caleb Williams Via @jjones9 on X

What happened: Caleb Williams practiced in full all week, including Thursday. Ben Johnson said Williams would be a full participant but stopped short of naming a starter. Bagent stepped in Sept. 20 after Williams was sidelined.

Why it matters: Chicago is 3-1 and facing a starter decision under center. Williams threw for 3,942 yards with 27 touchdowns and 7 interceptions over 17 games in 2025.

By the numbers: Williams in 2025: 330-of-568, 3,942 yards, 27 TD, 7 INT in 17 games. Bears 3-1.

What to watch: Final injury designation and Sunday inactives will settle whether Williams returns as starter.
