Thursday's Packers vs. Bears injury report Via @packers on X

What happened: Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers with a hamstring injury. Bears running back D'Andre Swift returned to practice as a limited participant, while Green Bay running back Chris Brooks remained sidelined with an ankle issue.

Why it matters: Williams' absence forces Chicago to adjust its offensive game plan for a critical division matchup. The return of Swift provides a potential boost to the Chicago Bears backfield, while Green Bay may need to rely on MarShawn Lloyd if Brooks is unable to play.

What to watch: Both teams will release their final injury designations on Friday ahead of Sunday's game at Lambeau Field.
