On Sunday morning, Adam Schefter at ESPN reported that the Carolina Panthers had two players tested positive for COVID-19. Today, the team announced that “additional players” are going on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Here’s a portion of the team’s statement, as written by Darin Gantt.
“Additional players will be added to the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, and the facility will be closed Monday and Tuesday. Teams may not disclose whether a player has tested positive for COVID-19 or whether he is quarantining because of close exposure to someone who has tested positive. Names of the players being placed on the list won’t be available until the team submits the transactions to the league.”
Two other players are currently out due to the pandemic. Defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos is on the reserve/COVID-19 list and defensive tackle Bruce Hector is on the practice squad version.
Football is only a game. Take care of yourselves.
