Bears' Matt Nagy Won't Coach Halloween Game Vs. 49ers Due to COVID-19

Bears head coach Matt Nagy will miss Sunday's Halloween matchup against the 49ers after testing positive for COVID-19 on Monday, the franchise announced Saturday.

He will remain in quarantine and in NFL's COVID-19 protocols.

Special teams coordinator Chris Tabor, who is in his 14th season as an NFL assistant, will take over head-coaching duties after running practice this week. He was asked on Thursday about the possibility of assuming Nagy's duties this weekend.

"If that comes to fruition, I'll be honest with you, I run a team meeting every day, and I know in the special teams world, it is a team meeting," Tabor said.
