The San Francisco 49ers closed their facility on Wednesday after a test for COVID-19 came back positive. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, wide receiver Kendrick Bourne was the one who tested positive.
The 49ers are scheduled to face the Packers on Thursday night and as of now, the game is on as planned. That could change, of course, depending on the results of other COVID-19 tests between now and game time.
Bourne’s positive test is yet another blow for the 49ers, who will already be without Deebo Samuel, Jimmy Garoppolo and George Kittle against Green Bay. Garoppolo and Kittle are out indefinitely, while Samuel is still recovering from a hamstring injury.
The 49ers just cut Dante Pettis this week after his costly fumble in Week 8, thinning the receiving corps even more. Richie James was a limited participant in practice Tuesday after missing Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks, so hopefully he’ll be able to play against Green Bay.
