Bears DC Alan Williams submits resignation

Bears defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigned from his job Wednesday morning, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported.

Windy City Gridiron’s Bill Zimmerman speculated earlier in the day that Williams was not expected to return to the Bears. The defensive coordinator stepped away from the team after they lost to the Packers 38-20 in Week 1 and had not been heard from publicly since.

A spokesman with the Bears announced that previous rumors surrounding a raid of Halas Hall from law enforcement were not true. The exact circumstances surrounding his departure have yet to be released as of this writing.
