Why was the bears game delayed today

Kickoff for the Chicago Bears’ game against the Indianapolis Colts at Soldier Field has been moved to 3:25 p.m. Sunday after a number of COVID-19 cases popped up around the NFL.

The league on Saturday announced the Bears game — originally scheduled for noon on CBS — was being moved to a later time slot because the New England Patriots-Kansas City Chiefs game was postponed to Monday or Tuesday.

The NFL said members of both the Patriots and Chiefs tested positive for COVID-19, and multiple reports said Patriots quarterback Cam Newton was among the positives.

The postponement is the second Week 4 game to be moved because of the coronavirus. The Tennessee Titans’ outbreak — currently at 18 players and staff — pushed their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers to a later date.

Sunday marks the first Bears start for quarterback Nick Foles, who replaced incumbent Mitch Trubisky mid-game to lead a second-half comeback against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3. Foles was acquired from the Jacksonville Jaguars in March but lost out to Trubisky during a shortened QB battle this summer.

The Bears are looking to go 4-0 for the first time since the 2006 season.

Shelley may not have a slot cornerback role with both Kyler Gordon and Tavon Young potentially ahead of him on the depth chart, Park Hurley of BearGogglesOn.com reports.
Shelley saw his snaps increase in each of his three years with the Bears. However, the team brought in Gordon and Young in the offseason, making it possible Shelley is left off the regular-season roster.

Morrow will call defensive plays as the Bears' starting middle linebacker, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.
Even though Roquan Smith gets the accolades as the team's top linebacker, it's Morrow who'll be responsible for handling all pre-snap communication between the coaches and his teammates. Morrow last saw regular-season action in 2020 when he posted career highs with 78 tackles and three sacks. It's reasonable for IDP managers to expect similar production with his new team.

Quinn has been ramping up his practice participation throughout the preseason to keep him fresh for the regular season, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Quinn is entering his 12th year in the league, and he's coming off an 18.5-sack season, a total only surpassed by the 19 sacks he accrued with the Rams in 2013. He's expected to anchor the Bears' pass rush again this year, and his best IDP value is in leagues that weighs sacks heavily.
