Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has covered up an unauthorized logo on his cleats after receiving fines from the NFL for uniform violations in Week 6 and Week 7 of the 2026 season. The league penalized Williams thousands of dollars for wearing cleats that did not comply with equipment regulations.
Photographs from the Bears' game on November 2, 2026, show Williams wearing cleats with the logo blacked out. The NFL's uniform policy requires players to wear approved equipment, and unauthorized branding can result in fines.
Williams, the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, is in his second season with Chicago. The fines come as the Bears navigate their campaign under head coach Matt Eberflus.
