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.
Offensive line coach John Benton is expected to miss his second consecutive game after testing positive for COVID-19 on December 13.
