Bears coordinator: QB Caleb Williams 'a step ahead' of where he was last month

Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams reported to training camp “a step ahead” of where he’d been before breaking for a month, Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron said Sunday.

Waldron has seen an improvement in Williams’ operation of the offense, from learning the verbiage to using cadence as a weapon.

Williams’ best pass Sunday was a deep ball down the left sideline to second-year receiver Tyler Scott. Later in practice, during a two-minute drill, he completed a 10-yard pass to Keenan Allen and two checkdowns to running back Roschon Johnson before being picked off.
