Bears Hold Williams Out of Preseason Opener | Chicago News

Chicago Bears skip rookie QB Caleb Williams in preseason opener vs. Browns, opting for backup Tyson Bagent to start and likely lead first half — coach Ben Johnson says he’s seen enough of Williams in practice and wants to manage snaps for a full 17-game season. The Bears also plan to rest other starters, with Williams’ game action still up in the air for remaining preseason games. Meanwhile, Cleveland will trot out veteran Deshaun Watson first, then hand it over to Shedeur Sanders in the second half as both QBs battle for the starting job.
