The Bears will hire former Chargers assistant Chris Beatty as wide receivers coach, reuniting him with star receiver DJ Moore, a source said. Beatty was Moore’s position coach at Maryland his final two seasons.
Adding Beatty will nearly complete the overhaul of the coaching staff. The only position the Bears haven’t filled is running backs coach.
Beatty, 50, was wide receivers coach for the Chargers the last three seasons. Before that, he predominantly coached in college football, including stops at Illinois (2012) and Northern Illinois (2007).
He does not have any work experience with new Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron.
