"I do think we've seen him get better in really all facets," Johnson said of the second-year quarterback's progress in spring practices.

When the Bears hired Ben Johnson, he vowed to make quarterback Caleb Williams uncomfortable. On the eve of the Bears’ last OTA practice — the team breaks for summer after Wednesday’s session — Johnson sounded like he’d accomplished just that.

The Chicago Bears veterans are off for a little over a month between last week’s mandatory minicamp and the start of training camp in late July. This week, the Bears are holding voluntary practices that the team specifically asked rookies to attend before their summer break.
