Commanders assistant running backs coach Jennifer King looks on before the game against the Chicago Bears at FedExField on Oct. 5.

The Bears are hiring Jennifer King as an offensive assistant, a source confirmed Tuesday. She’ll serve as an assistant running backs coach. King, who will become the first female assistant coach in Bears history, spent the last four seasons as the Commanders assistant running backs coach.

King was the head women’s basketball coach at Johnson & Wales before joining the Alliance of American Football’s Arizona Hotshots as an assistant receivers coach in early 2019.
