Bears to interview Chargers’ Chris Beatty for wide receivers coach

Bears OC Shane Waldron is filling out his offensive staff. Chicago is set to interview the Chargers’ Chris Beatty for wide receivers coach.

The Chicago Bears found their new offensive coordinator in Shane Waldron, and he’s continuing to fill out his offensive staff.

The Bears are set to interview Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers coach Chris Beatty for the same position in Chicago, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Beatty boasts 26 years of experience, most of it coming at the collegiate level and as a wide receivers coach. He made the jump to the NFL with the Chargers as their wide receivers coach, a role he’s served since 2021. Beatty worked with the likes of Mike Williams and Keenan Allen in Los Angeles, and he’ll now get to work with DJ Moore, Tyler Scott and a still-to-be-determined receiving corps.

Waldron has already found his quarterbacks coach in Kerry Joseph, who previously served as the assistant quarterbacks coach with the Seattle Seahawks. On the opposite side of the ball, the Bears hired Eric Washington as their defensive coordinator.
