Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has covered an unauthorized logo on his cleats after the NFL fined him thousands of dollars for uniform violations during Week 6 and Week 7 of the 2026 season. Williams appeared with blacked-out cleats on Monday, November 2, 2026, addressing the league's concerns about the unapproved branding.
The fines stemmed from Williams wearing cleats featuring a logo that did not comply with NFL equipment regulations. The league's uniform policy prohibits players from displaying unauthorized commercial markings during games.
Williams' adjustment to his footwear comes as the Bears continue their season. The quarterback has not publicly commented on the fines or the cleat modification.
