Bears DC Alan Williams to miss Sunday's game vs. Bucs

CHICAGO -- Bears defensive coordinator Alan Williams will miss Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to personal reasons, coach Matt Eberflus announced on Friday.

Eberflus, who was the defensive coordinator of the Indianapolis Colts from 2018-21, will call defensive plays at Tampa Bay.

"I've done it for 12 years total," Eberflus said of calling defensive plays. "Really, it's more about the operation of the game management side of it. When the offense is up, it'll be normal business. And then throwing challenge flags and being right there with [offensive coordinator] Luke [Getsy] and the offense.
