Caleb Williams struggling in practice
Caleb Williams
The Chicago Bears selected former USC Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft and already named him the starter this upcoming season before he even took a single snap during practice. But it doesn’t sound like he has performed the way they would have hoped during practice.
According to a report from Chicago Bears beat writer Nicholas Moreano, Caleb Williams has been really struggling during practice.
“Really rough day for Caleb Williams and the starting offense. A lot of incomplete passes and near interceptions,” Moreano said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
“In the 7-on-7 period, Williams completed just three passes. Jaylon Johnson nearly had an interception over the middle of the field,” Moreano continued.
“In the team period, most of the passes were completed to the flat, and Williams held onto the ball for a long time.”
Moreano did note that Williams was missing two of his best receivers on the day.
“It’s worth nothing that Rome Odunze and Keenan Allen did not participate in 7-on-7s and team. Also, Nate Davis and Darnell Wright were not practicing today,” Moreano said.
Still, this is pretty horrible news for Williams and the Bears, and this led to a lot of reactions on social media.
Obviously, there’s still a long time before the start of the season, but this is pretty concerning news.
