Getty Tyrique Stevenson of the Chicago Bears reacts during the fourth quarter against the Washington Commanders.
The Chicago Bears have officially put to bed the early celebration scandal of cornerback Tyrique Stevenson, which may have cost the team a win over the Washington Commanders in Week 8.
Head coach Matt Eberflus spoke with media members on Wednesday, October 30, during which he announced the team’s final decision on a punishment for Stevenson — essentially that there isn’t going to be one.
“I’m not going to talk about Tyrique in terms of starting, not starting all those things,” Eberflus said, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN. “Tyrique has made a lot of plays … he’s going to continue to do that. … We’re behind Tyrique, and we’re with him all the way.”
Eberflus added that he and Stevenson had a “good” conversation about the now infamous incident last Sunday with his starting cornerback and that the organization wil not be revealing the details of that discussion.
