Bears QB Surprise Snaps Against Bengals | Chicago Bears News

Caleb Williams is set to take snaps in the Bears’ second preseason game against the Bengals — a surprise move after coach Ben Johnson initially said he didn’t think Williams needed to play at all. Johnson’s new plan? Get Williams acclimated to the night-game routine, with around 14 plays expected. The decision comes after joint practices, but Johnson’s focus is on building game-day comfort early. Key receivers like Rome Odunze and Cole Kmet will be on hand, though Luther Burden is sidelined with injury and D’Andre Swift is out for non-injury reasons. Defensively, stars like T.J. Edwards and Grady Jarrett sit this one out — leaving a mixed roster for what could be a pivotal moment in Williams’ early NFL journey.
