On Sunday the Chicago Bears put two more defensive starters on the Reserve/COVID-19 list in cornerback Jaylon Johnson and safety Tashaun Gipson Sr. This means their entire starting secondary is now out for the game on Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings. Nickelback Xavier Crawford has been ruled out with a concussion, and safety Eddie Jackson and corner Artie Burns are both on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
The Bears have 14 players currently on the COVID list. It’s possible they get some players back tomorrow, but for now they’ll be without the four players mentioned above and these ten players, quarterback Andy Dalton , running back Ryan Nall , wide outs Allen Robinson II and Isaiah Coulter , tight end Jesse James , tackle Larry Borom , defensive end Mario Edwards Jr.
