The Bears may be nearing an end to their quarterback carousel. Caleb Williams, who has missed Chicago's last three games with an ankle injury, could be back under center this Sunday against the Packers after a pre-game workout that showed progress.

Williams has been sidelined since Week 2, with the Bears cycling through Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum in his absence. Bagent started the last two games but was benched during Sunday's 31-7 loss to Green Bay in favor of Keenum — a move that underscored Chicago's urgency to get their starter back.

Williams' pre-game workout went well enough that a return this Sunday is a real possibility. The Bears have the Week 6 bye to consider as well, but the team has not indicated any plans to hold Williams out beyond this week if he's medically cleared. His return would be a significant boost for an offense that has struggled to find rhythm since his absence.
