Caleb Williams Watch: How Bears QB performed on Day 7 of training camp

The Chicago Bears were back at training camp on Wednesday for their seventh practice of the summer, and there was plenty to break down from Day 7, including the performance of quarterback Caleb Williams.

Williams is entering his third season following a breakout sophomore campaign where he set a franchise single-season passing record, led an NFL record seven fourth quarter comebacks (including the postseason) while leading Chicago to an 11-6 record, NFC North title and playoff win. That was all in one season with head coach Ben Johnson. Now, all eyes are on Williams this summer as he continues to develop under Johnson and make a huge leap in Year 3.

We’re taking a look at the good, the bad and the noteworthy with Williams from the seventh practice of Bears training camp:

Following a rough padded practice on Tuesday, Williams bounced back during a light, non-padded session. Williams was incredibly sharp during 7-on-7 work, where he completed 9-of-10 passes and five touchdowns, per CHGO. Those scores went to tight end Colston Loveland (2), receiver Luther Burden III and running back Kyle Monangai. But the best touchdown was caught by receiver Kaden Davis who made the best catch of the day with a one-handed, laid out grab, per Chris Kwiecinski. CHGO added that “Williams and Co. repeatedly took advantage of linebacker Devin Bush in short coverage on wide receivers Rome Odunze and Burden.”

In what was a light, non-padded workout, there weren’t any significant mistakes made by Williams on Wednesday. If you want to nitpick, he had an incompletion during 7-on-7 that prevented him from going a perfect 10-of-10.

Before Wednesday’s practice, offensive coordinator Press Taylor discussed the offense’s struggles in two of their padded practices, and it was going to be a point of emphasis to clean things up.

“I think we’ve taken a step back, honestly, in our pre-snap communication,” Taylor said. “From the huddle, breaking the huddle, at the line of scrimmage. Yesterday was definitely not our best day as an offensive unit. And we feel like going back, watching it, meeting as a unit, we feel like we lost the snap before the ball was ever put in play.”

The offense rose to the occasion and delivered a nice bounce-back day in what was a light, non-padded practice. Williams and backup Tyson Bagent were both sharp and led effective 7-on-7 periods. But the real test comes Thursday during another padded practice before things wrap for the week.
