Bears' Jimmy Graham Placed on Reserve/COVID-19 List Ahead of Week 7 vs. Buccaneers

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham won't be available for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Head coach Matt Nagy told reporters on Friday that Graham has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Graham hasn't had a big rebound like the Bears were hoping when they signed him in March 2020. The five-time Pro Bowler did lead the team with eight touchdowns last year, but his 9.1 yards per reception tied the lowest average of his career.

Things haven't gotten any better so far in 2021. He has caught one pass for 11 yards through the first six games.
