The National Football League is pressing ahead with the start of training camps despite the increasing number of coronavirus cases around the nation.
On Sunday, six players – all rookies – became the first players to land on the reserve/COVID-19 list, per NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero.
“These are the first six players to land on the new reserve/COVID-19 list, either after testing positive or being quarantined close contact with an infected person,” Pelissero tweeted. “With most veterans reporting Tuesday, there figure to be many more. Another part of the NFL’s new reality for 2020.”
Here’s a look at the six players as reported on Sunday’s official transaction report:
Browns running back Dontrell Hillard and defensive back Jovante Moffat
Bengals defensive end Kendall Futrell
