George McCaskey addressed the Chicago Bears' players on Wednesday and told them coach Matt Nagy would not be fired after Thursday's game in Detroit.

McCaskey's message to the team capped a tumultuous week when Nagy's job status came under extreme scrutiny after a report Tuesday on Patch.com that claimed the Bears had already informed Nagy that Thanksgiving's game vs. the Lions would be his last, regardless of the outcome.

Losers of five straight, the Bears enter the Lions game at 3-7 and outside of the NFC playoff picture.
