The Seattle Seahawks hadn’t had a single player test positive for the coronavirus through the first two weeks of training camp until wide receiver John Ursua received his results early Sunday morning.
Ursua was immediately placed on the NFL’s Reserve/COVID-19 list and began isolating in his hotel room. He took a second test on Sunday and was delivered a negative result on Monday. He has now received a second negative test in a row.
“Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers my test was a false positive I do not have the virus,” Ursua posted on his Instagram account early on Tuesday.
With the news of the false-positive test, the Seahawks remain one of the few teams in the league to have no players or staff battling the coronavirus.
Seattle players are now set to take to the field on Wednesday for the first real practice session of this year’s training camp.
