Caleb Williams Clears Injury Report Ahead of Thursday Night Game
The Bears QB is fully healthy and set to start against the Patriots after a dominant Week 6 return.
Caleb Williams is off the Chicago Bears' injury report ahead of their Thursday night game against the Patriots, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). That's a full green light — no designation, no uncertainty.

Williams had missed the previous three games with a torn hamstring, then returned in Week 6 and was excellent: 30-of-36 for 305 yards and a touchdown in a win over the Falcons, per the source story. He's not just healthy enough to play — he played at an elite level the moment he stepped back on the field.
Start him without hesitation Thursday night. The short week is a non-issue given he just played Sunday and is fully off the injury report. The Patriots opponent context is unknown from the data provided here, but nothing in the source story suggests any reason to hold back. In dynasty, a healthy Williams coming off that kind of return performance only strengthens his long-term floor.
One note: the Bears did list running back Kyle Monangai as a non-participant in Monday's walkthrough, per ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). If Monangai is limited or out Thursday, that's worth monitoring separately for Bears backfield implications — but it does nothing to change Williams' outlook.
