NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Bears took the field Sunday against the Titans after the team flew with a player who tested positive for coronavirus.
Offensive lineman Lachavious Simmons was tested with all players Saturday before the trip, and his test came back positive after the team arrived in Nashville, Tenn. that evening. The Bears isolated him from the rest of their traveling party and put him on the reserve/COVID-19 list three hours before kickoff.
All other players were reported to have tested negative when they took the rapid point-of-care test, which gets a result in less than an hour, Sunday morning.
