Quinn is having one of the best seasons of his career with 5.5 sacks in the first six games.
Bears outside linebacker Robert Quinn is having a tremendous comeback season, but that’s on hold after the team put him on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday after testing positive for the virus.
While it’s not definitive because teams don’t disclose a player’s status, Quinn appears to be vaccinated based on not wearing a mask for press conferences at Halas Hall. If he is vaccinated, the return-to-play protocol is simple: Quinn is eligible to return once he has two negative tests that are 24 hours apart. That would give him a chance to play against the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Quinn, 31, has been essential to the resurgence of the Bears’ pass rush and is ninth in the NFL with 5.5 sacks. He is second only to Khalil Mack (six) on the Bears, who lead the league with 21.
Last season, after signing a five-year, $70 million contract, Quinn had just two sacks.
