The Kansas City Chiefs had another star hit the COVID reserve on Tuesday.
Tyreek Hill, and six other Chiefs players, joined tight end Travis Kelce on the COVID reserve list after all seven of them tested positive on Tuesday.
The Chiefs now have 14 players total on the COVID list with a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
In addition to Hill, TE Blake Bell, LB Nick Bolton, CB Rashad Fenton, G Kyle Long, OT Lucas Niang, and CB Armani Watts all tested positive. They join Kelce, K Harrison Butker, CB Charvarius Ward, WR Josh Gordon, DT Chris Jones, LB Willie Gay and WR Gehrig Dieter.
Gay, Gordon and Jones should all come off before the Steelers game after missing last week.
But the big question will be around Kelce and Hill, both of whom must test negative before Sunday in order to play.
The outbreak also raises concern if others will test positive later in the week, such as Patrick Mahomes, who told KCSP on Monday that he has received his booster in addition to his original vaccination.
The Chiefs currently lead the AFC by one game, which is more critical this year as only the top team gets a bye in the playoffs, and hold a two-game advantage in the AFC West.
