In other injury news, special-teams standout Sherrick McManis broke his index finger in Sunday's loss.
Roster Moves: There was good news Monday as the Bears removed veteran right tackle Jason Spriggs from the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Spriggs was placed on the list last Tuesday. The new designation was created this year for players who either test positive for the coronavirus or who have been quarantined after having been in close contact with an infected person.
Spriggs signed with the Bears during the offseason after appearing in 36 games with nine starts over three seasons with the Packers from 2016-18 before missing the 2019 campaign with an injury. He saw his first action of the season on the offensive line Nov. 1 in an overtime loss to the Saints, entering the contest at right tackle after Bobby Massie exited with a knee injury on the Bears' first possession.
The Bears on Monday also removed cornerback Michael Joseph from the reserve/COVID-19 list and returned him to injured reserve. Joseph was placed on the COVID-19 list Oct. 24.
Joseph has not been around the team or at Halas Hall since the start of the regular season. He was placed on injured reserve Aug. 31.
Joseph joined the Bears in 2018 as an undrafted free agent from Dubuque. After spending most of the past two seasons on the practice squad, he was added to the 53-man roster for the final two weeks of last season, but did not see any game action.
