The Bears fired running backs coach David Walker, head coach Matt Eberflus announced on Wednesday.
“As the head coach, we are building a program and have standards to uphold to as a staff and organization, both on and off the field, and those standards were not met,” Eberflus said, via Chris Emma. “I’m not going to get into details other than he’s no longer on the staff.”
The Athletic’s Kevin Fishbain and Adam Jahns first reported on Wednesday that Walker’s firing involved Chicago’s human resources department. According to ESPN’s Courtney Cronin, Chicago made the decision following a workplace incident that was Walker’s second with the team, as he was “reprimanded” earlier for his first incident.
