Bears' Caleb Williams faces challenges with roster changes for 2026 season
Summary

As the Chicago Bears prepare for the 2026 NFL season, quarterback Caleb Williams is tasked with overcoming significant challenges. The team will be without veteran receiver DJ Moore, who has been traded to the Buffalo Bills, and Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman, who has retired. Williams is pushing for improvement after a completion rate below 60% in his sophomore season. New targets such as Rome Odunze and Luther Burden will need to step up, while the center position remains uncertain with Garrett Bradbury and rookie Logan Jones vying for the role. The effectiveness of these adjustments will be crucial for Williams' success in the coming season.
