The USC Trojans had a special guest in the building when their men's college basketball team took on the Wisconsin Badgers in a Big Ten clash.
None other than former USC quarterback and current Chicago Bears signal caller Caleb Williams was spotted sitting courtside for the game, though one aspect of the 23-year-old's appearance immediately stood out to fans. And it wasn't his new haircut.
Williams could be seen with a cast on his throwing arm, covering his right wrist. It was unclear why he was wearing the cast, as there hadn't been any reports of the young quarterback undergoing a procedure during the offseason. Naturally, fans were curious about the situation.
According to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, Williams underwent a procedure to remove a cyst on his right wrist. He described the procedure as being minor and said that Williams will be fine.

Wouldn't be too worried #DaBears fans. That kind of cast is for a fracture that I don't thing should hamper him, especially since it's January. (Ex. A thumb splint/cast is more scary imo)
