A spokesperson for the Bears refuted social media rumors that authorities raided Halas Hall and said police have not visited the team in connection with Williams.
The Bears currently have the 29th-ranked defense in the NFL and have allowed the second most points per game through Week 2.
Williams was hired as the Bears' defensive coordinator in 2022. Prior to joining the Bears, Williams served as a defensive backs coach for the Indianapolis Colts (2018-2021) and Detroit Lions (2014-2017). He also had a stint as the Minnesota Vikings' defensive coordinator (2012-2013).
