Report: Caleb Williams 'Fine' After Cyst Removal; Video Showed Bears QB in Hand Cast

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is reportedly "fine" after a video circulating on Saturday showed his right hand in a cast.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Williams had a cyst removed and the procedure was considered "minor."

Williams, 23, is coming off an up-and-down rookie season in Chicago.

The top pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Williams completed 62.5 percent of his passes for 3,541 yards, 20 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also rushed 81 times for 489 yards.

However, Williams was subjected to serious punishment during his first year in the NFL, taking a league-leading 68 sacks behind a shaky Bears offensive line. Sam Darnold (57), C.J. Stroud (55) and Geno Smith (50) were the only other quarterbacks who were sacked at least 50 times during the 2024 season.

The Bears finished the 2024 season at 5-12 and will look for Williams to make a leap in Year 2 once they install a new coaching staff following the midseason dismissal of Matt Eberflus.
