The reserve/COVID-19 list has been created for a player who tests positive for COVID-19 or has been quarantined after having been in close contact with an infected person or persons. If a player falls into either of these categories, his club is required to immediately place the player on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Clubs are not permitted to comment on a player's medical status other than referring to the roster status and may not disclose whether the player is in quarantine or is positive for COVID-19.
On Sunday, 49ers offensive line coach John Benton tested positive for COVID-19.
San Francisco also announced the following roster moves:
- DL Kevin Givens had his roster exemption lifted.
- TE Chase Harrell has been signed to the practice squad.
- WR Shawn Poindexter has been placed on the practice squad injured reserve list. Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports that the receiver is dealing with a calf injury, which is unrelated to the ACL injury in 2019 that landed him on injured reserve.
