Report: Lions WR coach Antwaan Randle El leaving for the Bears to become assistant head coach under Ben Johnson

Ben Johnson is making progress building his staff two days after he was introduced as coach of the Chicago Bears. The former Lions offensive coordinator is bringing two assistants with him from Detroit.

Ben Johnson is quickly building his first coaching staff as the Bears head coach, and he's poaching from a few other teams in the process. The Bears are working to finalize a deal with Lions receivers coach Antwaan Randle El to be their new assistant head coach/wide receivers coach,

The Detroit Lions have gone through a brain drain within the coaching staff in the aftermath of their season-ending loss to the Washington Commanders in the divisional round. Since that defeat, Ben Johnson has been hired as the head coach of the Chicago Bears and Aaron Glenn has inked a deal to lead the New York Jets,

Detroit has promoted former linebackers coach Kelvin Sheppard to replace Aaron Glenn in the vacant coaching role, a source confirmed to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
