Overview
- Williams practiced fully for a third consecutive day on Friday but was listed as questionable on the Chicago Bears' final injury report for Week 6.
- He suffered a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of the Week 2 loss to Minnesota and missed three games while rehabbing what has been reported as a Grade 2 hamstring tear.
- Williams and coach Ben Johnson said the quarterback must complete multiple medical protocols, stress testing and stacked practices before trainers will clear him to play.
- Chicago will still be without running back Kyle Monangai and defensive starters including Montez Sweat, T. J. Edwards and Dayo Odeyingbo for the Atlanta game, which would increase the impact of Williams' activation on play calling.
- If cleared, analysts say Williams would likely restore the Bears' explosiveness and deep‑ball playmaking and force Atlanta to adjust its defensive game plan once the team confirms his status before departing for the game.
