Morton was in the NFL for seven seasons, including 2002 with the Jets.

The Bears filled out their coaching staff late Tuesday by hiring Chad Morton as running backs coach, a source said. They hired passing-game coordinator Thomas Brown and wide receivers coach Chris Beatty earlier in the day.

New offensive coordinator Shane Waldron worked with Brown in 2020 with the Rams and had Morton on staff with the Seahawks the last three seasons; he has not worked with Beatty.

Morton, 46, got his start in coaching with the Packers in 2009 and left for the Seahawks in ’14.
