Concerning video of Bears QB Caleb Williams emerges online

As Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams patiently waits for word about who his next head coach will be, a concerning video of the 2024 first-overall pick has made its way to social media.

Williams was in attendance at a USC basketball game recently, and in addition to sporting a new haircut, his right hand was wrapped in what looked like a cast.

Williams was battered and bruised in 2024. He was sacked an NFL-leading 68 times and often looked like he would get knocked out of games.

Despite the pounding, Williams started every game for Chicago and finished with 3,541 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, and six interceptions.

Not long after this video made its way through social media, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport calmed the nerves and anxiety of Chicago Bears fans everywhere.

Caleb Williams had a cyst removed. He's fine.
