Chicago Bears Quarterback Caleb Williams Minor Injury? Wears Cast On Right Wrist At USC Game

Regardless, anytime a throwing hand, wrist, or arm is involved, it was a rightful cause for concern from everyone involved. Especially the future of the franchise in the middle of a highly publicized coaching search.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy both recovered from off-season surgery last season to be back in time to lead their teams at the start of the 2024 season, so there is some recent precedent to follow from actual major injuries.

The ongoing search for the Chicago Bears head coach continues, and the prominent names being vetted keep rolling in. Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken and Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady completed interviews on Friday, per Bears Communications. Other names like Pete Carroll, Brian Flores, Mike McCarthy, Arthur Smith, David Shaw, Ron Rivera, Aaron Glenn, Ben Johnson, Mike Kafka, and Thomas Brown have all completed interviews.

With Williams and his record-breaking rookie season behind him, finding the right fight going forward is ever important for the Bears brass. Williams insinuated that he would prefer an offensive-minded head coach. He said it in the season-closing interviews and reiterated it on the St. Brown podcast with fellow USC Trojan football alumni Amon-Ra St. Brown. Above all, Williams says he wants a leader of men and a strong presence that will manage the game properly.

“Selfishly, I want an offensive-minded guy so I can build with him and build with him for the next…15 years. And, so I can learn and grow and things like that. . . . I hope we find the right guys to win championships. That’s the only goal that I have.” said Williams on the podcast.

The Bears will be deciding on who the coach will be sooner rather than later. At the very least, they can rest assured their quarterback is expected to be healthy.
