Rashaad Coward (born November 6, 1994) is an American football offensive lineman for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football as a defensive end at Old Dominion.

Professional career

Coward signed with the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent on May 11, 2017.[1] He was waived on September 2, 2017 and was signed to the practice squad the next day.[2][3] He was promoted to the active roster on December 9, 2017,[4] and made his regular-season debut in the Week 14 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.[5]

Although Coward was a defensive end during his rookie year, head coach Matt Nagy announced that Coward would be moved to offensive line for the 2018 season.[5] He was an exclusive-rights free agent after the year, but returned to the Bears after being tendered a contract.[6]

In 2019, Coward started ten games at right guard after Kyle Long suffered a season-ending injury. He became an ERFA for the second time at season's end before re-signing on April 17, 2020.[7]
