The Bears are crawling their way back to full strength.
First up, Deon Bush’s return from the reserve/COVID-19 list:

This leaves offensive linemen Cody Whitehair and Lachavious Simmons as the only Bears on the reserve/COVID-19 list are . Whitehair was nursing a calf injury when the Bears put him on the list, while Simmons was a late addition on game day morning.
Bush didn’t test positive for COVID-19, but was a close contact to someone who did. So even though Bush made the trip to Nashville, he landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on the Saturday night before game day, was quarantined from the team, and ultimately kept away on game day. But now, Bush has the green-light to return to the squad, returning Chicago’s safeties room to full strength.
Hey, it’s a start!
