All three Bears coordinators in COVID-19 protocol
The Chicago Bears may be significantly short-staffed for their Week 15 "Monday Night Football" game against the Minnesota Vikings.
All three Bears coordinators — Bill Lazor, Sean Desai and Chris Tabor are not at Halas Hall. They’re in COVID-19 protocols.

Bill Lazor is the team's offensive coordinator, Sean Desai is the defensive coordinator and Chris Tabor is the special teams coordinator. Per Fishbain, head coach Matt Nagy said that in addition to the COVID-19-related news, there are players currently battling non-COVID illnesses.
When asked who would call plays on defense for the Bears if Sean Desai isn’t available Monday night, Matt Nagy did mention Mike Pettine, the former Packers DC and Browns head coach, as an option.
