Will Caleb Williams look like the same player coming off his hamstring injury? 🤔 @LegerDouzable #justfootball https:// Via @NFLonCBS on X

What happened: CBS Sports analyst Leger Douzable addressed how Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams will perform as he works his way back from a hamstring injury. Ahead of kickoff at Lambeau Field, Williams went through an exhaustive on-field workout by himself to test the hamstring.

Why it matters: A hamstring issue directly tests the mobility and throwing base of the 2024 No. 1 overall pick during the 2026 regular season. Named among five game-changing quarterbacks by Russell Wilson in August, Williams is central to Chicago's offensive ceiling after starting all 17 games in 2025.

What to watch: How Williams moves outside the pocket and handles a full game workload on the recovering hamstring will dictate Chicago's offensive approach.
