The Chicago Bears continue their preseason schedule on Saturday with a game against the Buffalo Bills.

It will be the first time that rookie quarterback Caleb Williams plays a game in a Bears uniform. While Williams was dressed for the team's Hall of Fame against the Houston Texans last week, the starters did not play.

Bears' head coach Matt Eberflus announced on Thursday that Williams along with the healthy starters will be playing on Saturday. While Eberflus did not give the full timeline for how long Williams will play today, the expectation among the beat reporters is for the quarterback to play the entire first quarter.

Considering the injuries that the Bears have on the offensive line, don't expect the full playbook to be unlocked for Williams and the first-team offense today. Above all else, today will be the chance for Williams to get the feel of playing in a NFL game. The focus for Williams today will be on the operation of getting the play, calling it out, and working on his cadence.

On the opposite side, Josh Allen and the Bills' first-team offense are expected to play the entire first quarter.

Locally, the game will be aired on Fox Chicago with Adam Amin once again returning to serve aas the Bears' preseason play-by-play announcer. Nationally, the game will be broadcasted on NFL Network as Saturday has a slate of preseason games across the NFL.

The Bears being the first game that the NFL Network broadcasts on Saturday for the national audience is a sign of the impact that Williams has. NFL fans have heard about Williams for the past two season and will want to see how he performs during his rookie season with the Bears.
