Report: Bears Practice Squad Player, Chiefs Coach Test Positive for COVID-19

The Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs each reportedly had one individual test positive for COVID-19 on Saturday. 

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, a Bears practice squad player and Chiefs strength and conditioning coach have tested positive. Schefter noted the Bears' facilities have been closed because they already played their Week 5 game Thursday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

The Chiefs are scheduled to host the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Schefter noted tracing is being carried out, but as yet there has been no suggestion the game could be moved.

Per Mark Maske of the Washington Post, one source said "no 'further issues' (are) expected at this point."

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported Oct. 3 that Kansas City practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta'amu was being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. 

There was concern after the Chiefs' 26-10 win over the New England Patriots on Monday when Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore confirmed two days later he tested positive for the virus. 

The NFL has moved New England's game this week against the Denver Broncos from Sunday to Monday. 

Schefter noted the Patriots had no new positives as of Saturday.

The Tennessee Titans were also reported to have no positive results ahead of this week's game against the Buffalo Bills, which has been moved to Tuesday. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported on Thursday the Titans had another positive COVID-19 test after an outbreak of more than 20 cases within the organization. Tennessee's Week 4 game against Pittsburgh was postponed last week. 

The Bears defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-19 on Thursday night. They have 10 days off until their Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 18.
