Giving the rookie QB playing time in Buffalo in the second preseason game should seem like a given but the Bears coach is still hedging based on the health of linemen.
Getting tackle Darnell Wright and guard Teven Jenkins back at practice on Tuesday made it more likely they can protect their rookie QB well enough for him to start Saturday at Buffalo.
A key to whether Williams starts might be whether both Wright and Jenkins are able to respond and practice Wednesday without tightness or soreness, following their first practice Tuesday.August 6, 2024 "I think it's important that you look at it that way. Certainly we want to get it solidified, but sometimes injury plays into that where you get opportunity and position fle- based on that. Everybody is not health all the time. But yeah, for sure we want the consistency to be there as fast as we can."
"People say you can't lose a job because of injury. I don't think that's true. I think if the guy that's playing there gives our team a good look and a good benefit for him being in that position, then it's a competition. Or the other guy could take it over. That's not just at guard. That's at all positions."
