The Bears have their first coronavirus concern of the offseason: nose tackle Eddie Goldman is being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the team said Tuesday.
It’s unclear if Goldman is vaccinated. The NFL has two sets of rules: for vaccinated players and for those who are not. Vaccinated players are allowed to test once every 14 days or at the team’s discretion. Unvaccinated players must be tested daily.
Vaccinated players without symptoms can return to camp after two negative tests at least 24 hours apart. Unvaccinated players who are ruled a high-risk close contact to an infected person must isolate for five days, even if they’ve tested negative.
