The Philadelphia Eagles are adding two more names to their close contacts list and the team just announced that veteran defensive end Vinny Curry and running back Corey Clement will be placed on the RESERVE/COVID-19 list.

Earlier on Thursday, the Eagles announced that a player had tested positive for COVID-19 and three players had been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
Second-year wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside was reportedly that player, with John Hightower being added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list and practice squad wide receiver Deontay Burnett being added as well.
John Hightower was a close contact and was out today, but he was not deemed high-risk. And sounds like Vinny Curry and Corey Clement are also close contacts — and unrelated to Arcega-Whiteside. https://t.co/NYhZHWK4jw

Ian Rapoport is now reporting that although Hightower missed practice, he wasn’t deemed high risk, while Curry and Clement were and will now quarantine waiting for negative test results.
