CALEB WILLIAMS IS BACK?! šš» Bears Get HUGE Injury Update + Two Rookie STARS Emerging
21m | Oct 15, 2026The Chicago Bears may finally be getting Caleb Williams back, but the injury report brings both major optimism and serious concern heading into Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons.
On todayās episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down Chicagoās latest injury report after Caleb Williams was listed as an estimated full participant with his hamstring injury. Kyler Gordon was also listed as a full participant, while T.J. Edwards, Dayo Odeyingbo, Kyle Monangai and Keyshaun Elliott were all listed as non-participants. Pasted text
Calebās progress is encouraging, but it does not mean he has officially been named the starter. Ben Johnson has kept the quarterback decision open, and Chicago must weigh Calebās health against a short turnaround before facing New England four days later. Pasted text
Then we get into one of the most exciting developments of the Bears season:
š„ Dillon Thieneman and Malik Muhammad may already be looking like two major draft wins.
Through five games, Thieneman has 37 tackles, four passes defended, an interception and a 37.5 passer rating allowed, while Muhammad has already produced an interception, a sack and three passes defended. Pasted text
Could Ryan Poles have found two long-term defensive starters in the same draft?
And finally...
šØ Do the Bears have a center problem?
Chicagoās offensive line is ranked No. 4 by PFF, but Garrett Bradbury has an overall grade of 53.7, ranking 28th of 34 centers, while second-round pick Logan Jones has yet to play an offensive snap. Pasted text
