According to Adam Hoge, who works for WGN and NBC Sports Chicago, the Chicago Bears are hiring Mike Adams as an assistant defensive backs coach.
Adams retired from the NFL last March after 16 years as a player, his last coming with the Houston Texans. This will be his first coaching role, and he essentially replaces the spot vacated when safeties coach Sean Desai was promoted to defensive coordinator.
Adams, a two-time Pro Bowler, was originally an undrafted free agent by the San Francisco 49ers in 2004. He also played for the Browns, Broncos, Colts and Panthers in his career, and during that time he started 149 of the 228 games he appeared in.
