Bears quarterback Caleb Williams sported a new look Saturday — a tight haircut and with a white cast on his right throwing hand.
Williams was in attendance for Saturday’s Wisconsin-USC basketball game at the Galen Center in Los Angeles by Fox Sports cameras. The cast ran from his knuckles to below his right wrist.
NFL Network reported that Williams recently had a cyst removed, which was a minor procedure.
Williams was not on the injury report with a hand, thumb or thumb injury all year. In his end-of-year press conference, Bears GM Ryan Poles did not list Williams among the players set to have surgery.
The former USC Heisman Trophy winner finished the season with 3,541 passing yards, the most ever for a Bears rookie, plus 20 touchdowns and six interceptions over 17 starts. He spends his offseasons in both the Los Angeles area and Jacksonville, Fla.
