Bears head coach Matt Eberflus expects his rookie quarterback Caleb Williams to
play just under a full game’s worth of reps during preseason action this summer.

Bears veteran players reported for training camp Friday at Halas Hall. Williams
and the rookies have already been at the training facility for several days.
Asked how much Williams would play during the preseason, Eberflus referenced
what other teams did last year with rookies like CJ Stroud, Bryce Young and
Anthony Richardson.

“[We] haven’t made any decisions, but we certainly want to get him some reps,”
Eberflus said. “I know the guys last year got 45 to 55 reps, in terms of those
guys. We’re looking right in that range. We’ll see, but again, it’s always week
to week because you have to see what the health of your [offensive] line is and
where everybody is.”

Last year, NFL teams averaged around 63 offensive snaps a game. So even just 45
snaps would be a sizable portion. During the preseason last year, quarterback
Justin Fields played only 20 snaps. Fields, though, wasn’t a rookie.



Williams, who signed his four-year, $39 million rookie contract this week, noted
that any and all reps are valuable. Still, the preseason is no time to risk
injury.

“We do have the understanding that, you know, it’s preseason and things are
going to be a little different play-wise, offensively and defensively,” Williams
said. “So practice here is just as valuable as those moments.”

The Bears have an extra preseason game this year. They will take on the Houston
Texans at the Hall of Fame game on Aug. 1 in Canton, Ohio. That game is in
addition to the usual three-game preseason slate.

If the Bears do give Williams about 55 snaps of preseason action, that’s only
about 12 or 13 snaps in each of the four preseason games. The Bears might want
to see the QB get into a rhythm, too, so it’s possible he’ll play two or three
series in one game and sit out another.



Everett, Amegadjie sidelined by injuries

Veteran tight end Gerald Everett and rookie offensive tackle Kiran Amegadjie
will begin training camp on the non-football injury list.

Amegadjie, a third-round draft pick, is still dealing with a quad injury he
suffered last season while playing at Yale. The injury required surgery.
Amegadjie did not participate in OTAs or minicamp this spring.

“He has done an outstanding job this offseason working and rehabbing,” Poles
said of Amegadjie. “We love his work ethic. That’s one of the reasons why he’s
here. He’s progressing. Everything is positive, but I don’t have a specific
timetable now.”

Everett did participate in OTAs and minicamp. He likely suffered an injury over
the last month while away from the team. The Bears did not say what Everett’s
injury is.



The team signed Everett to a two-year, $12 million contract in free agency.

Additionally, undrafted rookie defensive end Jamree Kromah briefly went on the
physically unable to perform list this week but was cleared to return to action
Friday. Kromah has a finger injury.

Bears not done at defensive end?

Speaking to members of the media on Friday, Bears general manager Ryan Poles
acknowledged – without being prompted – that defensive end might be a position
where his team is still looking to add talent.

“I don’t really see it as a defensive end problem,” Poles said. “Our mindset’s
always: How can we make a position group the best we can possibly make it and as
deep as we possibly can make it.”



As of now, the Bears starters at defensive end are Montez Sweat and DeMarcus
Walker. They also have Jacob Martin, Dominique Robinson, Austin Booker and
Khalid Kareem as backups, among others. Sweat is going to be in the starting
lineup no matter what. Walker had only 3 ½ sacks in 17 games last season. He
might be better suited as a rotational piece.

Last year, the Bears signed pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue in early August. They
could be looking to make a similar late addition this year. Ngakoue also happens
to still be on the free agent market.

Ngakoue had four sacks in 13 games for the Bears before he suffered a
season-ending ankle injury in December. His ankle required surgery, but
according to his social media pages he’s now healthy.

“Evaluation-wise, I think once we got Montez, you saw the sack rate go up for
really everybody, so I think it enhanced everyone,” Poles said. “But [I] really
enjoyed our time with [Ngakoue]. Thought he did a nice job. Brought some
leadership, so it’s positive.”
