Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has resumed throwing but is still working his way back to full speed, with Tyson Bagent set to start Sunday's game at Green Bay, per Tom Pelissero.
Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero): Bears QB Caleb Williams has resumed throwing, but he's still working his way back to running full speed as he inches closer to returning from his hamstring injury. Tyson Bagent starts Sunday at Green Bay.
Williams was limited in Friday's practice and carried a questionable designation on the final injury report of the week. The Bears have now confirmed Bagent will handle the start at Lambeau Field, a decision that aligns with the coaching staff's preference to let Williams return only when he can operate at full capacity.
Bagent, the undrafted free agent who has started in Williams' place during previous absences this season, will face a Packers defense that ranks among the league leaders in pressure rate. The Bears have a bye in Week 8, giving Williams a potential soft landing window if his recovery continues trending in the right direction.
