Bears sign Marcus Williams, place Bryce Callahan on IR

The Bears announced Wednesday that nickelback Bryce Callahan was being place on injured reserve with his previously reported broken foot, ending his great 2018 season.

In a corresponding move, the team announced they were signing CB Marcus Williams, out of North Dakota State:

The reason for that distinction of college is that he should not be confused with Marcus Williams, the safety for the New Orleans Saints, who went to Utah.
