Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is on the team’s COVID list, but the Staffords have been down this road before.
Stafford’s wife, Kelly Stafford, shared her frustrations with the situation on her Instagram story Wednesday night, writing “here we go again.”
“I appreciate everyone reaching out and giving us well-wishes when actually we are fine,” she said in a video. “We’re all negative, my husband is negative, there was just a certain exposure, so we have been testing since our exposure and we are all negative.”
This is the second time Stafford has had a COVID scare. Back in August, Stafford produced a false positive, which Kelly expressed anger toward the league.
“I blame the NFL for not holding themselves accountable,” she said in an Instagram post at the time. “These are people’s lives and livelihoods that are in those results in THEIR test sites. Maybe we should be absolutely positive a person has COVID before releasing that info to the world.”
If Stafford continues to produce negative tests, he will be eligible to play in Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.
