Caleb Williams’s next game action will come in the regular season.
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said at a Tuesday press conference that Williams will not play in the team’s preseason finale against the Chiefs on Thursday night. The Bears will host the Titans on September 8 to kick off the regular season.
Williams played in each of the team’s last two preseason games and went 10-of-20 for 170 yards. The first overall pick in this year’s draft also ran twice for 20 yards and a touchdown.
Eberflus said that the majority of the team’s other starters will also sit out on Thursday, so the Bears are pretty much in regular season mode from here on out.
