Out for Sunday Shelley (heel) is out Sunday against the Giants.

Impact Shelley's absence Sunday will be his fifth in six games after he initially dealt with a hamstring injury. The third-year pro's absence will leave the Bears down a starting corner. Artie Burns will likely now step into that role.

Questionable for Week 17 Shelley (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Shelley returned to the field for last week's win over Seattle and totaled four tackles (three solo). However, he was still limited by his hamstring injury ahead of Week 17. If the 25-year-old is unable to play Sunday against the Giants, Artie Burns and Thomas Graham should see increased playing time.

Placed on COVID-19 list Shelley (hamstring) was placed on reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Shelley was designated to return from IR on Thursday after missing the Bears' previous three games. Now that he's moved to the COVID list, his return suffers a potential setback. Even if Shelley is able to clear protocols to return in time for Monday against the Vikings, it's unclear if his hamstring is healed enough for him to play.

Impact Shelley has missed the last three games due to a hamstring injury, but he'll be able to return to practice ahead of Monday's game against the Vikings.

Impact After notching 17 tackles over Chicago's firs three games of the season, Shelley's production tailed off while posting just seven tackles in the following three games. His inconsistent production will make him a difficult player to trust in IDP leagues after the Bears' Week 10 bye.
