According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, a member of the Bears’ practice squad has tested positive for the coronavirus. There are no new positives in Tennessee nor New England, but there are now two other positive tests: one for a practice squad player in Chicago, but Bears have been closed since Thursday night, and a strength and conditioning coach in Kansas City, per source.
