Caleb Williams is struggling against more than just the elite first-team defense during training camp. The Chicago Bears quarterback fed back-to-back interceptions to members of the backup secondary, including an undrafted rookie free agent.
Caleb Williams had a few turnovers on Saturday
Williams reportedly didn’t have his best day during the Bears’ second practice in pads on Saturday. Williams coughed up the ball in a strip sack during the two-minute drill. Head coach Matt Eberflus ejected defensive end Montez Sweat from the drill after the play, as the defense isn’t supposed to touch the quarterback during camp.
One understands Williams will have growing pains during the preseason. The Bears are making him go up against the first defense this summer. However, Williams’ turnovers Saturday came against players who have an uphill battle to make the practice squad.
The Chicago Bears’ backup secondary had a big day
According to Courtney Cronin of ESPN, Williams threw back-to-back interceptions during the 7-on-7 drill. He threw the interceptions to safety Adrian Colbert and cornerback Reddy Stewart.
7 on 7 just wrapped. Caleb Williams threw back to back interceptions (Adrian Colbert and Reddy Stewart) before connecting with Gerald Everett on a throw over the middle in traffic.

Williams needs to be practicing better
Per the Bears’ first unofficial depth chart, Colbert is their third-string safety. He’s spent the previous two seasons on the practice squad. The Bears listed Stewart as their fourth-string cornerback. The Bears signed Stewart as an undrafted free agent out of Troy in April.
Williams needs to start cleaning up some of his misfires. He’s had issues with accuracy this week, and the Bears have a little over a month to go before their first regular season game.
