Bears Weighing Williams’ Preseason Role | Chicago News

Bears coach Ben Johnson is considering sitting QB Caleb Williams for the entire preseason, confident in his practice performance but cautious given the offensive line’s instability. Backup Tyson Bagent will start the opener, with Keenum and rookie Moss also getting reps — a strategic move to protect Williams while still evaluating the offense. Johnson wants to see more precision from Williams before Week 1, but last year’s preseason collapse looms large. The dilemma: Is a brief preseason glimpse worth the injury risk? Williams has dazzled — including a playoff TD pass — but also shown miscommunication and inconsistency. The answer may hinge on whether practice translates to game day.
