Under an agreement between all NFL teams and the players’ union, the Bears are closing their practice facility Tuesday for Election Day.
Players reported to Halas Hall on Monday to do their typical Tuesday work, but will have Tuesday off.
“I think it’s a good thing,” Bears coach Matt Nagy said. “And I know our guys are going to be excited to be able to partake in all that and understand where we’re at.”
In the wake of the George Floyd killing in May, the Bears made a list of how they could affect change. They decided to allow players to register to vote in Cook County the day they reported to summer camp at Halas Hall.
