The Detroit Lions have announced that they have removed sophomore tight end Isaac Nauta removed from reserve/COVID-19 list.
Nauta is the first of eight players the Lions placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list last week, and the seven who still remain are:
- QB Matthew Stafford (who tested positive but is asymptomatic)
- WR Kenny Golladay
- TE T.J. Hockenson
- CB Justin Coleman
- CB Amari Oruwariye
- Safety Jalen Elliott
- Punter Aaryn Siposs (who tested positive but is asymptomatic)
After just days spent away from Allen Park, it’s presumed that he was asymptomatic, but unclear if he actually tested positive for the coronavirus. In either scenario, Nauta would have had to pass at least two follow up tests in the last five days to pass health requirements.
Now he is eligible to return to Allen Park and after he passes his team physical, he will be able to attend the Lions strength and conditioning program already in progress.
