Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy says he has tested positive for COVID-19

OCTOBER 25, 2021 • Associated Press

Tests positive for virus Graham's placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier Friday was the result of a positive test, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact According to Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times, Graham is vaccinated, so he'll be eligible to rejoin the Bears as soon as he's asymptomatic and has tested negative on two occasions at least 24 hours apart. Graham won't have sufficient time to gain clearance ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, which kicks off at 4:25 p.m ET. The Bears are likely to turn to Jesse James as the primary backup at tight end behind starter Cole Kmet.

Bears place veteran tight end Jimmy Graham on COVID-19 list

The Chicago Bears placed veteran tight end Jimmy Graham on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday

Placed on COVID list The Bears placed Graham on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

Impact Per Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times, Graham is vaccinated, so his placement on the list is likely the result of a breakthrough positive test. While he'll theoretically have a chance at playing Sunday in Tampa Bay if he's asymptomatic and submits two negative test results at least 24 hours apart, he's highly unlikely to clear all protocols ahead of the game's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Instead, the Bears will likely hope to have Graham available for their Week 8 matchup with the 49ers on Oct. 31. Jesse James will slide into the No. 2 tight end role behind Cole Kmet until Graham is cleared to return.

Zero targets Week 2 Graham played 21 offensive snaps and was held without a target during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bengals.

Impact Graham saw his snap total increase from 14 to 21 in Week 2, but he was still held without a target. Graham's fantasy value has dwindled to a touchdown-dependent streaming option as Cole Kmet has taken over the starting tight end duties in Chicago.

Minor role in loss Graham caught one pass for 11 yards in Chicago's 34-14 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Impact Graham was targeted twice, but his lone reception came in the red zone, as he was stopped inside the five-yard line. Even though he played just 20 percent of the snaps, the fact he was used in the red zone indicates that he has the chance to score a touchdown in any given week, but it's unlikely he'll be a featured part of the Chicago passing attack with Cole Kmet being nearly a full-time player.

Makes 2021 debut Graham recorded one catch on one target for five yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Bills.

Impact Graham made his debut for the 2021 season, recording his lone catch of the day on the second play of the game. While he recorded 50 receptions and eight touchdowns in 2020, Graham slowly lost snaps to Cole Kmet (hamstring) down the stretch of the regular season. The pair figure to split reps again this season, though Kmet could be in line to take over the majority of the playing time on a more regular basis.

Impact Graham has a non-guaranteed $7 million salary in the second season of his two-year, $16 million contract, but he doesn't sound especially worried the Bears will release him. Second-round pick Cole Kmet handled more snaps at tight end down the stretch last year, but the rookie never made an impact in the passing game, while Graham had a team-high eight touchdown receptions. On the other hand, Graham managed just 9.1 yards per catch and 6.0 per target, and he averaged less than five targets per game for a second straight season. Assuming the Bears keep him around, the 34-year-old figures to split snaps with Kmet in 2021.
