Bears Plan to Start Caleb Williams in Week 6 After 3-Game Hamstring Absence

Summary
Caleb Williams is set to return Sunday in Atlanta after missing three games with a torn hamstring, with Chicago planning to start him despite listing him as questionable.
A full week of practice without setbacks drove the decision: Williams took starter reps, looked sharp Thursday and Friday, and coach Ben Johnson said late Friday he was "on track."
Chicago went 2-1 during Williams' absence using multiple quarterbacks, with Case Keenum starting a Week 3 win over Philadelphia and Tyson Bagent going 1-1.
The return would give the 3-2 Bears their starting quarterback back for Week 6 after he last played Sept. 20, when he was carted off against Minnesota.
