Wide receiver John Ursua was the first, and so far the only, Seattle Seahawk to test positive for the coronavirus over the first two weeks of training camp. On Sunday, he was placed on the NFL’s Reserve/COVID-19 list.
Just one day later, he was able to provide some very good news . . . his second test was negative and he now awaits a third before he can resume team activities.
“It’s been a crazy experience, kind of a roller coaster if you may, where I get the news late (Saturday) night that I tested positive,” Ursua told KHON2 sports director Rob DeMello. “I’m kind of concerned thinking that I’m going to be quarantined for the next 12 to 14 days and then come yesterday’s test results come back and it’s negative.”
Per DeMello, Ursua first discovered he was positive around midnight early Sunday morning. Later that day he took his second test and received the negative results on Monday. He remains in isolation following the results of his third – and hopefully final – test in the sequence before he can rejoin his Seahawks teammates.
