The Bears would’ve been thrilled to see quarterback Caleb Williams begin training camp with a flourish under new coach Ben Johnson. In an offseason bursting with momentum, it would’ve turbocharged the optimism at Halas Hall.

That’s a far-fetched expectation, though, as even established quarterbacks go through a challenging acclimation period when they get a new play caller. It was neither surprising nor alarming that Williams had another choppy performance Thursday in the Bears’ second practice.

He spent most of the day under center, one of several adjustments he’s making, and there was little about which to rave.
