Atlanta Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell has tested favorable for COVID-19 and is being put on the reserve/COVID list, the team revealed Saturday.
Terrell, a novice first-round draft pick by the Falcons, is the very first player to be put on the COVID-19 virus since the start of the 2020 season. Players can be placed on the list if they test positive for COVID-19 or if they’ve been exposed to someone who evaluated favorable.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that Terrell’s positive test came back over night and as an outcome he was not at the Falcons’ Saturday walk-through. Terrell has been declared out for Sunday’s house game versus the Chicago Bears.
According to Pelissero, no other team members tested positive from the overnight tests and all other individuals were tested again today. Arise from Saturday early morning’s tests will be offered on Sunday morning.
Contract tracing will be utilized to identify who was available in contact with Terrell in recent days, as all NFL gamers and Tier 1/2 people wear tracking gadgets all day in the facility. If no one was within six feet of Terrell for 15- plus straight minutes, tests unfavorable or reveals no symptoms, then that player’s video game day status will not be jeopardized.
