Caleb Williams and Bears Highlight Areas for Improvement in Joint Practice

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — In a joint practice with the Tennessee Titans, Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears demonstrated both their offensive capabilities and areas that require enhancement as they prepare for the 2026 season.

The Bears' offense started strong, with Williams connecting effectively with wide receiver Rome Odunze and tight end Cole Kmet. However, as practice progressed, the performance declined, marked by incomplete passes and a sack. Williams noted the need for the team to maintain consistency throughout games, especially after halftime.

Last season, the Bears excelled in late-game situations, but they aim to improve their overall performance. Coach Ben Johnson has high expectations for Williams, who is working to increase his completion rate and enhance his coverage recognition skills. Meanwhile, rookie receiver Carnell Tate showed promise with multiple touchdowns, and veteran running back D’Andre Swift proved crucial in early practice, indicating his importance for the upcoming season.
