Bears quarterback Caleb Williams returns to practice and is questionable
for game with Packers
[October 10, 2026]
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams
returned to practice on a limited basis Friday and is listed as
questionable for Sunday’s game at Green Bay.
Williams has missed the Bears’ last two games since injuring his right
hamstring during a 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 20. Bears
coach Ben Johnson had indicated Monday that Williams wouldn’t be
available this weekend, but that was before the quarterback returned to
practice.

“He’s doing a great job with his rehab,” Johnson said Monday.
“He’s not going to be there this week for us. We think it’s
still a week-to-week deal for us.”
The Bears (3-1) have won each of the two games Williams has
missed, with Case Keenum taking his place in a 27-7 victory over
the Philadelphia Eagles and Tyson Bagent starting in a 23-12
triumph over the New York Jets. Bagent is expected to start
Sunday against the Packers (2-2) if Williams is unavailable.
In other injury news, the Bears ruled running back Kyle Monangai
(thumb/toe) and linebacker Keyshaun Elliott (quadricep) for
Sunday’s game. Defensive back Kyler Gordon (calf), linebacker
Noah Sewell (Achilles), defensive lineman Shemar Turner (knee)
and Williams are questionable.
The Packers have ruled out running back Chris Brooks and wide
receiver Savion Williams due to ankle injuries. Guards Aaron
Banks (knee/toe) and Jacob Monk (quadricep) are doubtful.
Center/guard Jager Burton (back) and defensive tackles Anthony
Campbell (ankle) and Javon Hargrave (toe) are questionable.
