"The Chicago Bears have already been placed in enhanced COVID protocols by the NFL and things aren't getting much better. On Friday the team announced that they've placed one of their QBs in COVID protocol. NFL insider Adam Schefter announced that Andy Dalton has been placed in COVID protocol. While on the surface this might not seem bad because Justin Fields is starting, however we've seen COVID spread fast through QB rooms including most recently the Cleveland Browns and Washington Football Team so it is a bit worrisome and Fields will be monitored throughout the weekend. More details to come.
