The Chicago Bears are officially COVID-free!
Just three weeks ago, the Bears were ravaged by COVID-19, which left the team without their entire starting secondary and a slew of big contributors against the Vikings in Week 15.
At one point, there were 15 players and all three coordinators on COVID reserve.
Flash forward, and the Bears just removed tight end Jesper Horsted and linebacker Joel Iyiegbuniwe, their final two players, off the reserve/COVID-19 list and are now back to full strength.

While Horsted and Iyeigbuniwe haven’t been significant contributors, it gives them an opportunity to see some playing time in the season finale.
This move happens just as the Vikings, Chicago’s Week 18 opponent, added several players to COVID reserve on Monday.
