On the opening possession of the second half Sunday night, Caleb Williams had the ball in his hands with a chance to lead a go-ahead touchdown drive. It was third-and-3 from the 37-yard line, and Williams had a window of opportunity to hit the kind of big play the Chicago Bears offense so desperately needs.

The rookie hasn't done well in his first two weeks, combining for 267 passing yards on a 56.1% completion rate (37-for-66), no touchdowns and two interceptions against the Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans. Fields spoke with reporters this week about Williams and his thoughts on what's ahead for his replacement in Chicago.

On Thursday, the Bears signed wide receiver John Jackson III to the team's practice squad. Jackson was a wide receiver at the University of Southern California, and a teammate of Williams for one season in 2022. That was the year Williams won the Heisman trophy.
