LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Caleb Williams will have to wait another week to make his NFL debut.
The Chicago Bears rookie quarterback and other starters will not play in Thursday's Hall of Fame game (8 p.m. ET, ABC, ESPN), coach Matt Eberflus announced. Second-year quarterback Tyson Bagent will start for the Bears against the Houston Texans.
Chicago concluded its ninth practice of training camp Tuesday and will hold a split session Wednesday before departing for Canton, Ohio. Players who are expected to play against the Texans will go through a walk-through while primary starters will be on a different field.
