Caleb Williams has thrown just two passing touchdowns through two 2026 games, both in Week 1, before suffering a Grade 2 right hamstring strain in Week 2 that has kept him out since. The Bears’ revamped offense under head coach Ben Johnson features an improved line and young receivers including Rome Odunze, yet the team has leaned on backup quarterbacks during Williams’ absence. His return timeline targets Week 6 against Atlanta, with a short turnaround to a Thursday game the following week complicating recovery. Historical output of 20 and 27 passing scores in his first two seasons sets a baseline, though missed games and any lingering mobility limits could cap volume in an offense that mixes designed runs and play-action.
