Four Bears remain on reserve/COVID-19 list

The Bears put nose tackle Eddie Goldman, long snapper Patrick Scales, linebacker Christian Jones and tackle Elijah Wilkinson on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday. They have not added players since, and coach Matt Nagy said the hopes that there will be no other positive tests.

Wilkinson is not vaccinated; it’s unclear if the other three are.

Bears quarterback coach John DeFilippo, who is vaccianted, quarantined for the first five days of camp because of the coronavirus but returned earlier this week.

“This isn’t a football thing,” Matt Nagy said. “This is a worldwide thing.”

The NFL has two different sets of rules for players depending on their vaccination status.
