Report: Bears, Damien Williams Agree to One-Year Deal

The Bears have agreed to a one-year deal with former Super Bowl champion Damien Williams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The running back emerged as a hero during the Chiefs historic 2019 playoff run. He was used as a backup for most of their title campaign, but Williams scored six touchdowns during the postseason, including 133 total yards and two touchdowns in a Super Bowl LIV victory over the 49ers.

Williams, then, opted out of the 2020 season because his mother is fighting stage four cancer, and Williams was concerned about potentially exposing her to COVID-19 if he played.
