Chicago, IL, August 20, 2026 —

Cincinnati, OH – Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams ended a joint practice session with the Cincinnati Bengals on a difficult note, throwing an interception late in the day. The play occurred during a critical two-minute drill scenario.

The incident unfolded as Williams was operating near his own end zone and encountered significant pressure from the Bengals’ defense. Under duress, Williams attempted a pass that was ultimately intercepted by a Bengals cornerback. Reports indicate the pass deflected off the intended receiver before being picked off.

The joint practice marked a period for both teams to compete against different personnel and simulate game-like situations in a controlled environment. While such practices are valuable for development and evaluation, they can also highlight areas needing improvement for players and teams. The details of the contractor’s name, specific fines, or any permit status were not provided in the summary.
