Even with Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams’ recent progress, there’s no telling how he’ll handle what’s coming next.
The challenge is the first of its kind for him: Coming off two nail-biting NFC North losses, he’s on a short turnaround before going on the road Thursday against the Lions, the best team in the NFL.
Williams acknowledged the condensed schedule to recover physically and prepare mentally is uncomfortable, and he had a few ‘‘mess-ups’’ in the walkthrough Tuesday because he hadn’t had time to study every detail of offensive coordinator Thomas Brown’s game plan.
