The New York Giants placed wide receiver Kadarius Toney on the Reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week following a positive test.
Toney’s positive result came while the Giants were flying back to East Rutherford from Los Angeles. He was immediately isolated from the team, but additional positives were expected.
On Wednesday, Giants head coach Joe Judge revealed that two more players — linebacker Oshane Ximines and wide receiver John Ross — had also tested positive.

Ross and Ximines have been isolated from the team and are likely to land on the Reserve/COVID-19 list as well.
In addition to the new positives, Judge said there had also been a number of close contacts. As a result, the team has reimplemented a mask mandate and social distancing within the building. They are also considering going back to virtual work.
The players who were deemed close contacts were not at permitted at team facilities as of Wednesday morning.
Meanwhile, two other members of the organization who had previously tested positive — quarterbacks coach Jerry Schuplinski and offensive lineman Wes Martin — are headed back to team facilities.
Wes Martin and Jerry Schuplinski are on a plane back to NJ and should be back in the building this afternoon.

As the NFL deals with a league-wide COVID outbreak, more positive tests and close contacts are expected.
