The Atlanta Falcons have cancelled all in-person work at Friday’s practice after a staff member tested positive for COVID-19, the team announced this morning.

Atlanta hosts the Denver Broncos in Week 9, but will have to hold a virtual practice Friday. The Broncos cancelled practice on Wednesday to prevent a possible outbreak, so both teams will have missed one day this week.
With a combined 5-10 record, neither Denver nor Atlanta can really afford to be getting days off. Safety is the ultimate priority, though, and if the league wants to get through the rest of a crazy 2020 season, it will have to take extreme precautions.
