Williams was effective with Swift and Johnson, and a reunion could be in the works. The Bears are still searching for a goal-line running back, and Williams fits the mold. He's a player who has long been connected to the Bears ever since Johnson became the head coach. We'll see if a deal winds up happening.

Competition is both imminent and continuous as training camp gets underway in earnest. One such position group where additional competition and a potential reunion could take place is in the Chicago Bears’ backfield.

A former Detroit Lions running back has worked out for one of the team's division rivals that he has ties to. Running back Jamaal Williams completed a workout for the Chicago Bears Saturday, according to NFL reports.

Most of the Chicago Bears' starters will not be playing during Sunday's preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins, head coach Ben Johnson said Friday on CHGO's Hoge & Jahns show.
