Tracking the Bears at Camp: Caleb Williams had a Saturday practice with several big throws but he also threw back-to-back interceptions and had to battle back from that disappointment.
Getting intercepted by a third-string player is one thing. Getting intercepted by two of them on successive plays is quite the other.
"I thought he responded well. I thought he responded well," Bears coach Matt Eberflus said. "When you throw an interception, what is your response?"Reserve safety Adrian Colbert picked off Williams in 7-on-7 on a throw over the middle for D'Andre Swift. On the next play, Williams went even deeper in the middle for tight end Cole Kmet and undrafted rookie DB Reddy Steward plucked it.
What made it special was T.J. Edwards blitzed and seemed to have Williams dead to rights. Williams stepped outside the pocket and on the dead run hit Johnson for the 3-yard gain but the catch made in the open field never would have gone for 3 yards in a game. Johnson easily could have rumbled for 20 or 25 more yards given his ability to break tackles.
"Well I actually ran the wrong concept there, so that was actually my first missed assignment I believe of all camp," he admitted. "So it's kind of bittersweet for me." Prior to that, Velus Jones beat Jaylon Jones on a deep ball in the end zone while lunging forward. Rome Odunze beat Josh Blackwell so well that Blackwell fell, then was walking gingerly. He returned to practice later, but at the end when starters were on the field he was not at slot cornerback and Greg Stroman was. The two are replacing Kyler Gordon.If anyone had a worse practice than Williams and Bagent, it had to be kicker Cairo Santos.
