The Indianapolis Colts had four players deemed close contacts to the staff member who tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday morning. However, none of the players are considered high-risk so they could be back in the building on Friday.
Those four include defensive tackles Tyquan Lewis and Sheldon Day along with wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. and left guard Quenton Nelson.
After the Colts were informed of the staffer testing positive for COVID-19, they decided to do all of their meetings virtually while holding a walkthrough rather than a full practice as they had intended.
Because these four players are not considered “high-risk,” they can enter the building on Friday with a negative test. This is unlike the Ravens situation, who had six players deemed high-risk close contacts, which means they need five consecutive days of negative tests in order to return.
This will be a major situation to monitor entering the weekend and hopefully none of the players come back Friday with a positive test.
