A Chicago Bears practice squad player and a Kansas City Chiefs strength coach have reportedly tested positive for COVID-19, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Contact tracing is currently ongoing, Schefter adds.
The Bears facility has been closed since Thursday night when they defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Practice squad players can't be on the sideline during games since they aren't on the active roster.
This will be the Chiefs' first positive result since practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta'amu tested positive a week prior.
The Chiefs are set to take on the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
