The New Orleans Saints had an undisclosed player test positive for COVID-19 after showing up in Detroit for a Week 4 game versus the Lions, according to Pro Football Talk.
New Orleans is apparently in the middle of evaluating the people who were in contact with him:
This is the fourth NFL group to produce positive test results today following the Tennessee Titans, Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots
Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer keeps in mind the team didn’t find out of the favorable test until after getting here in Detroit. The Saints are apparently re-running their newest test results for verification with “numerous” players waiting for a POC test at the group hotel.
New Orleans is worried there may have been more gamers exposed. Head coach Sean Payton– who was fined $100,000 earlier this season for incorrectly using a face mask– has currently revealed he contracted and recovered from the infection previously this spring.
The Titans game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday has currently been postponed with the date to be determined. The Patriots positioned quarterback Camera Newton on the COVID-19/ Reserve list Saturday while the Chiefs discovered one member of their organization tested positive.
Kansas City and New England were also scheduled to deal with each other on Sunday. That video game is presently held off pending more test results. The NFL is looking at moving the Week 4 contest to Monday or Tuesday, if possible.
Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio anticipates Sunday’s Saints-Lions game will be held off also while the league overcomes its contingency plans.
