After testing negative for COVID-19 twice following an initial positive test result, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver John Ursua has been activated off the NFL’s COVID-19/Reserve list. He was able to participate in practice with his teammates on Wednesday.
The league requires at least two negative results, so Ursua can participate in team activities once again. His first test may have been a false positive, as he reported himself.
Although Ursua rejoins a wide receiver room with stars Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, he has a chance to work his way up behind them. He already flashed potential in last year’s preseason and made a clutch conversion in the final game of that regular season.
However, numerous players around the league are heading into the 2020 season with apprehension, including Lockett. An increasing number of players are being put on the reserve list due to contracting COVID-19, although the Seahawks have managed to play it safe so far. At this point, we can only watch the events leading up to the season play out.
