Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams recently underwent minor elective surgery to remove a cyst from his right wrist. The procedure, reported to be non-serious, has not affected his offseason preparations or his health status during his rookie season.

Williams, 23, was seen at a USC-Wisconsin basketball game with a cast on his wrist. Despite the surgery, he was not listed on the team's injury report at any point last season. Alongside him at the game was fellow USC alumnus and Bears wide receiver John Jackson III.

As the Bears continue their search for a new head coach, Williams' health remains a non-issue, allowing him to focus on future training.

The Chicago Bears faced a challenging season, culminating in a 10-game losing streak that left rookie quarterback Caleb Williams under immense pressure. Following the firing of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, Williams took accountability for the team’s struggles, acknowledging the impact his performance had on the organization. Despite a record-setting rookie year with 3,541 passing yards and 20 touchdowns, he was also heavily sacked, raising concerns about his development.

As the Bears search for a new coach, the focus remains on nurturing Williams' potential. His tumultuous rookie season has drawn comparisons to legends like Troy Aikman and Peyton Manning, with the hope that the right leadership can help him flourish in the NFL. General manager Ryan Poles emphasized the need for a coach who can challenge Williams while fostering his growth.
