The NFL has been hit hard by COVID-19 this week, and the Denver Broncos aren’t immune to the wave of positive tests.
After placing running back Mike Boone, safety P.J. Locke and outside linebacker Malik Reed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list last week, Denver placed wide receiver Seth Williams on the Practice Squad/COVID-19 list on Monday.
Williams will not count against the 16-player practice squad while on reserve. The Broncos also released offensive tackle Adrian Ealy from the practice squad on Tuesday.
Denver did receive some good news on the COVID front this week, as center Brett Jones has cleared COVID-19 protocol. Jones moved from the Reserve/COVID-19 list to injured reserve on Monday.
In addition to the Broncos, seven other NFL teams — the Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, New York Giants and Washington Football Team — all have at least four players on Reserve/COVID-19 this week.
The Browns have 10 players on COVID-19 reserve, including quarterback Baker Mayfield. Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski is also in COVID-19 protocol after testing positive this week. The Browns are scheduled to play the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday.
