The Chicago Bears traveled to Nashville for their second joint practice of the preseason when they took on the Tennessee **** ans ahead of their game on Saturday.
It was a hot and humid day when practice got underway, which made for some chippiness, as well as a few injury scares. The Bears' offense had their way with the **** ans' defense as multiple skill players got the best of Tennessee's secondary. Ben Johnson also dialed up a few complex plays that put the **** ans in a blender. Defensively, the Bears continued to struggle stopping an opposing offense. Things were made worse when starting cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson exited practice early, though Stevenson did return. And to top things off, a scuffle broke out after a big hit from Bears safety Xavier Woods.
Here's what we learned from Thursday's joint practice.
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has said he enjoys playing in cold weather, but it seemed like he didn't mind the heat so much either on Thursday. Starting out in practice, Williams was dialed in. According to CHGO's Adam Hoge, he completed 9-for-11 passes with six straight completions. Hoge notes the two incompletions were a throwaway and a drop, with the targets being spread out to eight receivers.
Meanwhile, NFL on Fox's Ben Arthur said Williams made special plays out on the field, highlighting his completion on a layered throw to Rome Odunze. And Blaine Kellar of Main Street Nashville clocked Williams at just three incompletions during the entire first half of practice. Whoever you ask, it's clear Williams had a strong first half of practice before the **** ans began generating pressure and forcing Williams to make poorer throws as the practice concluded.
