QB injury updates: - Caleb Williams slated to practice in full today. He still hasn't really run full speed just yet, b Via @JamesPalmerTV on X

What happened: Williams is slated to take full practice work today after a stretch limited by injury. He has yet to run at full speed but is described as close.

Why it matters: Both are 2024 first-round picks now entrenched as starters, Williams first overall out of USC and Penix eighth overall out of Washington. Their availability shapes Sunday's quarterback plans and the week's preparation reps.

By the numbers: In 2025, Williams completed 330 of 568 passes for 3,942 yards with 27 touchdowns and 7 interceptions in 17 games. In 2025, Penix completed 166 of 276 passes for 1,982 yards with 9 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in 9 games.

What to watch: Watch whether Williams strings together full-speed work and whether Penix avoids setbacks before Sunday.
