Matt Nagy could have moped. In private moments, he probably did. But as he neared the end of his Hell Week on Friday, the Bears head coach joked and smiled.
Sunday, the Bears lost their second game in six days. Monday, receiver Javon Wims was suspended for throwing haymakers on national television. Tuesday, right tackle Jason Spriggs was put on the reserve/COVID-19 list; guard Germain Ifedi was quarantined as a close contact, though he returned Friday.
Backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky’s right shoulder injury was revealed Wednesday. Center Cody Whitehair tested positive for the coronavirus Thursday, forcing the Bears to shut down Halas Hall for the day.
