The issues plaguing the Bears offense just keeps getting worse. With Bobbie Massie out with injuries and Jason Spriggs testing positive for COVID-19, the offensive line is going through more adversity.

#Bears OL Cody Whitehair tested positive for COVID-19, source said. Another Chicago O-lineman to test positive after Jason Spriggs. The team is already in the intensive protocol but team officials decided to do everything virtual today to be extra cautious and safe.

Cody Whitehair was supposedly on the right track to play this Sunday against the Titans and that would have been a huge relief in an ever-changing offensive line carousel.

There is apparently a very fluid situation at Halas Hall with the #Bears. I’m told everyone was sent home out of COVID-19 concerns. Stayed tuned for more

The team is scheduled to talk with media members today and that is increasingly unlikely to happen. The Bears have now also reportedly closed Halas Hall and sent everyone home.

Can confirm @adamjahns report everyone was sent home from Halas Hall today due to COVID-19 concerns.

Shortly after this news broke on Twitter, the Bears released a statement which you can read below:

The Bears closed Halas Hall and will pause all in-person football activities. All individuals deemed close contacts have been put into self-isolation.

In a statement, the Bears said: "It's unclear how Thursday's events will affect (Sunday's game at Tennessee)." pic.twitter.com/ZdvgQTqfhC

As of right now, Thursday morning, the Bears and Titans game is still scheduled as planned. We will likely know soon whether or not the game will be played this weekend or not.
