Thursday morning, the Bears announced another player has tested positive, prompting the cancellation of all in-person activities at Halas Hall with all meetings being held virtually.

"The player who tested positive and all close contacts have been contacted and have already begun self-isolation," the Bears said in a statement. "We will continue to work closely with the NFL medical experts and follow the league's intensive protocol. The health and safety of our team, players and staff are the highest priority."
