On Monday the Bears announced that running back Artavis Pierce was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
The list is "created for players who either test positive for COVID-19 or who have been quarantined after having been in close contact with an infected person." They didn't mention which category Pierce fell into; based on the recently bargained coronavirus agreements, teams are permitted from making further comment regarding anyone placed on the list. He won't count against the newly-mandated 80-player roster limit.
