LOOK: Caleb Williams is back at Halas Hall for training camp
While the first practice isn't until next week, rookies, quarterbacks and injured players reported to Halas Hall on Saturday. Veterans are set to report on Tuesday before the first closed practice Wednesday morning.
Quarterback Caleb Williams is entering an important second season following an impactful offseason where the franchise built around him. That included the hiring of head coach Ben Johnson, who's regarded as one of the NFL's best offensive minds, revamping the offensive line and adding even more weapons for him to use.
The Bears social media account shared a first look at Williams reporting to training camp on Saturday, and he's ready to go.
Williams had a chaotic rookie season that featured an in-season head coach firing, three different offensive coordinators, being sacked a league-high 68 times, a 10-game losing streak and a 5-12 record. Still, Williams impressed with 3,541 yards, 20 touchdowns and just six interceptions.
Now, with Johnson running the show, expectations are high for Williams in Year 2, especially after all the new additions to bolster the roster around him. First up: An important training camp where he'll continue to be tested by Johnson and his new coaching staff and a defense with some talented players.
