Maybe wilson takes that role. Or Maybe Carey along with weems and Josh Morgan
The confidence the staff seems to have in Chris Williams taking over as Chicago's primary return man seems warranted after taking a good look at him during Tuesday's workout. He's easily the quickest among the team's receiving corps. During Williams' time in the Canadian Football League, he scored a record six return touchdowns and generated 1,117 punt return yards. At training camp, he's definitely a player folks should keep an eye on.

He ran a 40 Low of 4.24 at New mexico State.

It sucks and it probably means his career is over. But it's no big loss.

I truly dislike Weems' game and was hoping he would lose out in the WR battle.

I'm interested in seeing if Trestman uses him for some long down field routes. With all the attention Marshall, Jeffery and Bennett will garner from opposing secondaries, he could potentially do some damage. He seems to have good hands from some of those clips.
Man, the season can't get here soon enough!

Some impressive catches during the practice by #Bears WRs Alshon Jeffery & Marquess Wilson.
“I’m a lot stronger,” Wilson said. “I’m 207 right now. I put on 10 pounds. I gained a little bit of muscle, a ltitle bit of weight. It helped out both in strength and speed. I gained power in my legs.”
Wilson has made his presence known in OTA scrimmaging without pads with some impressive catches.
“Those two guys are two of the best in the business,” Wilson said. “You’ve got those two on the outside and me coming in, that can open up a lot.”
