Bears defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigned on Wednesday, he announced in a statement.
“I am taking a step back to take care of my health and family,” Williams said. “I appreciate the opportunity to work with the Chicago Bears, a storied NFL franchise with a rich history. The McCaskey family is first-class and second to none.”
Williams, 53, has been away from the team since last week due to personal reasons and he did not coach in the Bears game vs. the Buccaneers on Sunday. He is a longtime NFL defensive assistant, coaching for the Colts, Vikings and Lions since 2002 before joining Bears head coach Matt Eberflus in Chicago last season.
