On NBC Chicago, Bears insider Adam Hoge broke down the Chicago Bears’ decision to hire Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus as their new head coach.

Chicago Bears' linebacker Matt Adams was arrested for gun possession on Thursday, according to police.

The 26-year-old, who signed a one-year deal with the Bears in April, was arrested and booked on misdemeanor unlawful use of a weapon, possessing a firearm and was cited for a high capacity magazine and medal piercing bullets, according to the report.

Adams was seen near a Jeep that was reported stolen around 6:45 p.m., which he allegedly revealed he had purchased.

Cops investigated the vehicle and located a loaded handgun and extended mag.

While Adams reportedly has a gun permit, it is not licensed by the state of Illinois.

Adams' arrest comes after Bears receiver Byron Pringle was arrested in April for reckless driving and driving with a suspended license.

Adams has a court date scheduled for Aug. 24.
