Caleb Williams‘ offseason development will be key for the Bears’ chances of taking a step forward next year. Chicago’s franchise quarterback is set to be fully healthy for 2025, but he did undergo a recent procedure, Adam La Rose of Pro Football Rumors reports.

Williams had a minor elective surgery on his right (i.e. throwing) wrist, ESPN’s Courtney Cronin reports. The procedure removed a cyst. The recovery period in this case is not expected to impact the No. 1 pick’s offseason schedule.

To no surprise, Williams immediately handled starting duties to begin his rookie campaign. The Oklahoma and USC product did not have the season he or the team hoped for, with a midseason coaching change and inconsistent performances resulting in a 5-12 record. Williams was not listed with a wrist ailment at any point during the year, which explains why this surgery has only taken place after the end of the campaign.
