Chiefs strength coach tests positive for COVID-19, report says

A Kansas City Chiefs strength and conditioning coach has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a report by ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Schefter, citing a source for the news, did not identify the coach. The Chiefs have had one known previous case of COVID-19. Practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta'amu tested positive before the Chiefs played the New England Patriots Monday.

Mark Maske of The Washington Post reports "no further issues" are expected at this time.

The Chiefs are scheduled to meet the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET.

Also Saturday, the Chiefs activated cornerback Bashaud Breeland to the roster and placed rookie defensive end Mike Danna on the injured reserve list. Danna, a fifth-round draft pick from Michigan, suffered a hamstring injury in the victory over the Patriots.

Danna recorded his first NFL sack in the Chiefs' victory at the Los Angeles Chargers in week two.

Breeland was suspended for the first four games for violating the NFL's policy on substance abuse.
