Caleb Williams’ 2026 passing touchdown total faces immediate pressure from a right hamstring injury sustained late in the Bears’ Week 2 loss to Minnesota, with imaging results pending and his status uncertain for the Week 3 matchup against Philadelphia. The third-year quarterback opened the season with two passing scores in a 59-37 win over Carolina before adding none in the low-output defeat. Chicago’s offense under Ben Johnson features a talented young receiving corps including Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, and Colston Loveland, plus a mobile Williams who added rushing scores early, though offensive line turnover and a tougher schedule temper expectations. Preseason projections centered near 25 passing touchdowns, consistent with his 27 in 2025.
