The Raiders placed defensive tackle Maurice Hurst on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. It was the first positive test the Raiders had so far during the 2020 offseason. Unfortunately, it doesn’t[appear to be an isolated case.
According to ESPN’s Dianna Russini, another player for the Raiders has tested positive for COVID-19. While that player has yet to be named, it likely will be announced during the day as the team will need to make a roster move.
A player on the Las Vegas Raiders has tested positive today per source.
