(670 The Score) The Bears on Sunday placed cornerback Jaylon Johnson and safety Tashaun Gipson on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
The Bears have 14 players on the reserve/COVID-19 list after losing Johnson and Gipson, who haven't been officially ruled out yet but will likely miss Chicago's game against Minnesota on Monday night.
With Johnson and Gipson in protocols, the Bears now have five defensive backs on the reserve/COVID-19 list. As of Sunday afternoon, they had just four healthy players in their secondary ahead of Monday: Kindle Vildor, Teez Tabor, Marqui Christian and Deon Bush.
Chicago has four defensive backs on its practice squad who could be called upon to the active roster. The Bears could also potentially return players on the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to the game Monday.
The Bears (4-9) and Vikings (6-7) kick off at 7:15 p.m. CT from Soldier Field.
