Caleb Williams took the field for Chicago in a playful end-of-practice drill that doubled as a showcase for his upside. Williams connected on 2 of 3 attempts in a one-on-one sequence, flashing accuracy and some improvisational flair as he lofted passes to teammates and threaded a few windows with timing. Darnell Wright leapt into a remarkable catch over Montez Sweat, signaling a potential mobile, pairing-friendly right side. A misfire from Jonah Jackson on a high-priority ball added humor but didn’t derail a camaraderie-filled moment as the Bears head into a tougher day with the Bills looming.

Williams’ interactions with Joe Thuney and Grady Jarrett closed the wrap, with Thuney snagging a pass on a slant as the team erupted, and Grady Jarrett pulling a quick jog of pushups after the loss, only to be told to redo them. The scene at Halas Hall underlines a chill-but-competitive vibe as Chicago inches toward joint practices with Buffalo, while a surrounding note references Seth Wickersham’s book noting Belichick and Payton’s questions about Williams’ college film. It all hints at a fantasy-forward narrative: Williams has ceiling, and the Bears’ plan—along with a roaster of NFL veterans—could produce fantasy-friendly moments if the coaching staff sells him as the weekend option in game days.
