Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Alan Williams will miss Sunday’s game at Tampa Bay for personal reasons. Coach Matt Eberflus will call defensive plays.
Eberflus did not provide a timetable for Williams’ return to the team.
It’s not the only change the Bears have been dealing with on defense. Nickel back Kyler Gordon went on injured reserve Thursday because of a broken right hand and had surgery. He could return as soon as Oct. 15, Eberflus said. Normally, Josh Blackwell would step in for Gordon when the Bears use five defensive backs. However, Blackwell is listed doubtful for Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury suffered in last Sunday’s loss to Green Bay. The Bears have elevated cornerback Greg Stroman Jr. from the practice squad.QB Nathan Peterman will back up Justin Fields for the second straight game. ... LB Dylan Cole went through a full practice Friday after missing all preseason and last week with a hamstring injury.
