Narrative:
We were landing 22L at kmdw and using brakes 3; due to runway braking action. As we crossed the numbers; I heard tower clear another aircraft into position for 22L and be ready to go. Shortly after touchdown; tower asked [us] to take the next left and contact ground. The braking stopped us shorter than normal as I had briefed; turning at the high-speed taxiway. Taxiway F was my next turn off and that's what I turned onto and was committed when I thought it looked narrow. Later I read where foxtrot is closed to our aircraft wingspan. Nothing was said by ground control and we taxied in with no issues.I have never stopped in that short of a distance in mdw; so I did not brief or look at notes for that taxiway. I will now look at all taxiway notes that are associated with the active runway. I will also not get committed to a turn until I am 100 percent sure of the taxiway; and will also use the highlight tool on our electronic flight bag for all closures that are on the airport. I was trying to help the tower.
