The Bears have dismissed running backs coach David Walker, a source confirmed Wednesday.
Walker is the second coach on Matt Eberflus’ staff to leave in 2023. Defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigned suddenly on Sept. 21 “to take care of my health and family.” The Sun-Times later confirmed his departure was related to conduct at Halas Hall.
Walker was in his second season with the Bears, having been hired when Eberflus replaced Matt Nagy in 2022. The Bears led the NFL in rushing in his first season with 3,014 yards — with running backs David Montgomery (201 carries, 801 yards, five touchdowns) and Khalil Herbert (129-731, four touchdowns) supporting quarterback Justin Fields’ record-setting rushing season (160-1,143, eight touchdowns).
