Bears defensive coordinator Alan Williams won’t travel with the Bears to Tampa because of personal reasons, leaving head coach Matt Eberflus to call defensive plays against the Buccaneers.
Eberflus said that inheriting the play-calling duties, as opposed to handing them off to a defensive position coach, was in the best interest of the Bears.
“With the defense up, I’ll be making the calls,” he said.
Williams missed practice Thursday and Friday because of what the team called personal reasons. Eberflus said he didn’t have a timeline for when Williams could return.
