Bears' Caleb Williams: Johnson unclear on return for QB
Head coach Ben Johnson wouldn't commit to a return date for Caleb Williams (hamstring) after Sunday's loss at Green Bay, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports. "He's on track. We'll see if that's Atlanta or after," Johnson said. "I think it's going to be close."Prior to Williams being deemed inactive for a third straight game due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the quarterback is "pushing to play" next weekend against the Falcons, and the fact he was able to complete a pregame workout backed up that sentiment. Johnson's comments afterward keeps the situation in some limbo for the time being, but the combined play of Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum on Sunday could spur the Chicago Bears to turn back to Williams after a second defeat in the last four contests.

Bears' Caleb Williams: Another absence in Week 5
Caleb Williams (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday in Green Bay.Despite his standing this weekend, Williams appears to be trending in the right direction after being limited at Friday's practice and entering the weekend listed as questionable for Week 5 action. He'll miss his third game in a row due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, but Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported Sunday morning that Williams is aiming to return in Week 6 versus the Falcons, and he even put in a pregame workout before this Sunday's game, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. Tyson Bagent again will get the start in place of Williams, with Case Keenum backing him up.

Bears' Caleb Williams: Eyeing Week 6 return
Caleb Williams (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Green Bay but isn't expected to suit up, is "pushing to play" Week 6 against the Falcons, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.Back on Monday, head coach Ben Johnson announced that Tyson Bagent would start against the Packers, but the Chicago Bears elected not to rule Williams out for Week 5 entirely. Williams -- who has missed the Bears' last two games due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain -- made a surprise return to practice Friday as a limited participant before he was given a questionable tag heading into the weekend. While he still isn't expected to be anything more than an emergency No. 3 quarterback behind Bagent and Case Keenum in Week 5, Williams' return to practice gives him a decent shot at returning to the starting role against Atlanta.

Bears' Caleb Williams: Listed as questionable for Sunday
Caleb Williams (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Green Bay.In a somewhat surprising turn of events, Williams now technically has a chance to return to action in Week 5 after drawing the questionable tag. However, coach Ben Johnson already announced Tyson Bagent as the Chicago Bears' starting quarterback for Sunday's contest, so it remains to be seen if Williams actually has a chance to take over No. 1 duties himself, merely serve as the backup or be available in an emergency capacity.

Bears' Caleb Williams: Showing signs of progress
Caleb Williams (hamstring) has made tangible progress in his recovery from a Grade 2 hamstring strain sustained in the Week 2 loss to the Vikings, Dan Wiederer of The Athletic reports.Williams has yet to resume practicing with his teammates, but he has reportedly looked comfortable dropping back, planting and throwing the ball. Head coach Ben Johnson said Monday that Williams remains week-to-week and won't return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers, paving the way for Tyson Bagent to make a second consecutive start. Williams could be an option under center for the Chicago Bears as soon as Week 6 against the Falcons, though his return to game action would be precipitated by a successful return to practice without setbacks.

Bears' Caleb Williams: Not practicing Week 5, still week-to-week
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson said Monday that Caleb Williams (hamstring) won't practice during Week 5 and is still being classified as week-to-week rather than day-to-day, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.Johnson noted that Williams has incurred no unexpected setbacks in his rehab program while he recovers from the Grade 2 right hamstring strain he sustained in a Sept. 20 loss to the Vikings, but the Bears are continuing to proceed cautiously with their franchise signal-caller. With Williams set to miss his third consecutive game this Sunday against the Packers, Tyson Bagent will draw the start while Case Keenum serves as the Bears' No. 2 quarterback. Williams still has a chance at returning to the lineup for Week 6 versus the Falcons, but he'll need to practice in some capacity to have a realistic shot at being cleared in advance of that contest.

Bears' Caleb Williams: Not ready to play Week 5
Head coach Ben Johnson said Monday that Caleb Williams (hamstring) will remain out for the Chicago Bears' Week 5 game against the Packers, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.With Williams set to miss a third straight game while he continues to recover from a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, the Bears will have Tyson Bagent make a second consecutive start under center. Williams hasn't practiced in any fashion since sustaining the injury in a Sept. 20 loss to the Vikings, but if he's able to get back on the field in some capacity during Week 5 prep, it would bode well for his chances of returning to the lineup Week 6 versus the Falcons.

Bears' Caleb Williams: Another DNP on Thursday
Caleb Williams (hamstring) remained a non-participant at practice Thursday.Williams didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough, and he unsurprisingly remained sidelined Thursday when the Chicago Bears held a full practice.

Chicago has yet to announce a starter for Sunday's game, with Tyson Bagent and Week 3 starter Case Keenum both in the running.

Bears' Caleb Williams: Missing Wednesday's walkthrough
Coach Ben Johnson said Caleb Williams is "getting better every singly day" but won't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.Williams exited a Week 2 loss to the Vikings in the fourth quarter due to a hamstring injury. He was considered week-to-week by Johnson afterward and then didn't practice at all before being ruled out for Monday's game against the Eagles. On Sunday, Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport of ESPN reported that Williams was diagnosed with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, which is considered to be a 3-to-4-week injury. Johnson told Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com on Wednesday that "the direction has already been made" as it pertains to a Week 4 starting QB this Sunday versus the Jets, but who that may be between Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent isn't known.
