Less than a day after Sunday night’s loss to the Green Bay Packers, the Chicago Bears have placed defensive end Mario Edwards Jr. on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Edwards joins offensive tackle Elijah Wilkinson on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
The Bears had a COVID outbreak earlier in the season, where a number of players landed on the list whether it was testing positive or as a close contact. The hope is this is an isolated incident, much like Wilkinson’s.
