NFL: The Insiders on Caleb Williams

Williams likely plays; his presence balances Bears' offense and run game vs. Falcons.

The source believes Caleb Williams will play this week against Atlanta based on the pregame workout he did, where the Bears appeared close to letting him go but wanted to be cautious to ensure no complications. The difference in quarterback play between Caleb Williams and Michael Penix is big enough that the source believes the Bears are going to win this game, though not with high confidence. Caleb's presence can affect the run game for Chicago—when Caleb plays, the offense is more balanced and can establish the run game better, as evidenced by the Carolina game in week one where Caleb was great and the run game was dominant.
