From the episode

He's one where, yes, he is doing some things in practice, but there are a lot of things for him to clear...You don't have to tear it completely off the bone for you to have a significant tear that takes a long time to heal.

STACKED’s take

NeutralInjury

Williams making progress but Week 6 status uncertain; significant hamstring tear requires full clearance.

Status uncertain for Week 6; doing some things in practice but many clearances needed before return. Stefania notes injury mechanism was awkward step with trunk bent far forward, pulling high end of hamstring—serious enough to scare Williams. Significant tear (doesn't need complete detachment from bone) takes long time to heal. Bears won't corral him or limit movement; must feel comfortable with full return. Making progress but unclear if Week 6 return happens. Matthew Berry ranks him QB8 pending Sunday status.
