Caleb Williams has thrown just two passing touchdowns through two 2026 games, highlighted by a strong Week 1 opener against Carolina before a Grade 2 hamstring strain in Week 2 limited him further and sidelined him for Weeks 3 and 4. The Bears’ retooled offense under head coach Ben Johnson produced wins behind backups, but Williams’ return timeline remains uncertain after limited practice as of October 9. His 2025 total of 27 passing touchdowns provides historical context for a full season, though reduced early volume, ongoing recovery, and the remaining schedule will shape his opportunities in Chicago’s pass-heavy attack.
