Longtime Bears assistant coach and defensive coordinator Sean Desai will join the Bengals in a senior assistant role, NFL Network reported.
Desai, 41, was with the Rams in a similar role last season.
He began his NFL coaching career as a quality control assistant for the Bears from 2013 to ’18, then former coach Matt Nagy promoted him to safeties coach for the 2019 and ’20 seasons.
Desai made history by taking over as defensive coordinator in 2021, becoming the first coach of Indian descent to reach the coordinator level in the NFL.
