Bears’ Caleb Williams to make NFL debut vs. Titans, per report

Caleb Williams will reportedly make his NFL debut against the Titans.

Chicago Bears No. 1 overall pick and quarterback Caleb Williams will reportedly make his NFL debut against the Tennessee Titans in Week 1 of the 2024 season.

The news comes from Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report. The Bears are one of the Titans’ away opponents this season, thus the game will take place at Soldier Field in Chicago.

What we don’t know yet is the date and time of the contest. There is still one primetime game that has not been announced — Sunday night — so there stands a chance it’ll be nationally televised.

As if this matchup wasn’t interesting enough, this will also be the first time the Titans face Kevin Byard since trading him to the Philadelphia Eagles last season. Byard signed with the Bears during the offseason.

The Titans own a 7-6 all-time record against the Bears and have won three of the last four meetings with the NFC North squad. They last met in 2020, when the Titans won, 24-17.

This is obviously quite a notable start to the season for the Titans, as the entire football world will have its eyes on the No. 1 overall pick. We’ll see if Will Levis can steal the show and outshine his counterpart.
