After announcing late Tuesday night that an unnamed player tested positive for COVID-19, the Los Angeles Rams placed three players on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
They are tight end Kendall Blanton, safety Jake Gervase and wide receiver J.J. Koski. They’re all currently on the practice squad.
While being placed on the list doesn’t necessarily mean a player has tested positive, in this case, at least one of them has. The NFL requires teams to place anyone who has come in close contact with a person who has tested positive on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
This is the first time a Rams player has been placed on the list since the start of the season and is just the fourth reported case on the team since the pandemic began.
Brian Allen, Terrell Lewis and Andrew Whitworth all revealed earlier this year that they tested positive for COVID-19, and in Whitworth’s case, so too did his entire family.
The Rams play on Monday night in Week 11, traveling to take on the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay.
