This new reserve list was created for a player who either tests positive for COVID-19 or who has been quarantined after having been in close contact with an infected person or persons.
If a player falls into either of these categories, their club is required to immediately place the player on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Teams are not permitted to comment on player’s medical status other than referring to roster status under terms agreed upon between the NFL and NFLPA meaning teams may not disclose whether player is in quarantine or tested positive for COVID-19.
