Bears vets lift up Caleb Williams after struggles in practice

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- An up-and-down day for the Chicago Bears' offense during the third practice of OTAs ended with an encouraging message for rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.

Nine-year safety Kevin Byard, who joined the Bears in free agency, approached Williams at the end of Thursday's session with feedback after a stretch of inconsistency during the red zone period.

"I said something to him at the end of practice like, 'Keep it going. We're going to keep making you better,'" Byard said. "And not necessarily saying he had a terrible day, but days like this are going to make you better.
