CHICAGO -- The Bears have hired Eric Washington as their defensive coordinator, a source confirmed to ESPN on Saturday.

Washington, 54, fills the vacancy that was created by Alan Williams' resignation ahead of Week 2 last season. Bears coach Matt Eberflus took over defensive playcalling duties and is expected to continue calling Chicago's defense in 2024.

Washington has spent 20 seasons as an NFL coach, including the past four with the Buffalo Bills.
