Chicago Bears RB Damien Williams on COVID-19 list; status for Sunday's game vs. Green Bay Packers in doubt

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears placed veteran running back Damien Williams on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

The Bears (3-2) host the Green Bay Packers (4-1) in a key NFC North divisional showdown on Sunday.

It is unclear if Williams went on the list because of a positive test result or as a close contact to someone who tested positive.

The timing of Williams going on the reserve/COVID-19 list is problematic because the Bears are already without their top running back, David Montgomery, who is on injured reserve with a sprained knee.
