Caleb Williams, the Chicago Bears quarterback, has been playing a high number of snaps over the past year - 1,718 to be exact. In contrast, Minnesota Vikings' quarterback J.J. McCarthy has played significantly fewer snaps due to injuries, with only 230 snaps under his belt.
When asked if he feels any sympathy for McCarthy's situation, Williams replied that he doesn't really feel sympathetic towards anyone who is dealing with injuries. Instead, he takes pride in being able to recover from his own injuries and maintain his performance on the field. He attributes this to a strong recovery routine, which includes things like sleep and self-care.
For Williams, playing is not just about physical endurance but also mental toughness. He believes that it's essential for players to be able to rise above pressure in late-game situations and deliver under pressure. This mentality has helped him excel in his role as the quarterback of the Bears.
The Vikings' coach Kevin O'Connell seems confident that McCarthy will not let the current medical issue with his throwing hand affect his performance in practice this week.
