Bears head coach Matt Nagy won’t coach the team’s rookie minicamp in person this weekend after being ruled a high-risk close contact for a family member who tested positive for the coronavirus, sources confirmed.
Nagy was in the process of becoming fully vaccinated.
Nagy is expected to participate in the practice via virtual technology. He’ll run meetings remotely, too, as all classroom work this offseason is being conducted via Zoom.
The Bears will begin their rookie minicamp Friday, with quarterback Justin Fields and second-round tackle Teven Jenkins making their debut on the practice fields of Halas Hall. The team will hold practices on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with voluntary organized team activities and mandatory minicamps to begin later this offseason.
Nagy appeared on NFL Network on Wednesday night as part of the league’s schedule release programming.
NFL teams continue to test players, coaches and staff members as a condition of their admission into their facilities.
