The Bears’ first practice in full pads was messy Friday, but quarterback Caleb Williams finished with a flourish.
Williams had a rough day until coming through with a successful two-minute drill near the end. He fired a 20-yard fastball to wide receiver Keenan Allen in the middle of the field — Williams’ best play of the day — to get the offense to the opponent’s 35-yard line, and two plays later took advantage of a blown coverage to hit Tyler Scott for a 35-yard touchdown.
It wasn’t clear exactly what the defensive lapse was, but Scott was wide open down the right side of the field, ahead of safety Jaquan Brisker.
