Report: Minnesota Vikings Linebacker Tests Positive For COVID-19
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The Minnesota Vikings have reportedly had a player test positive for COVID-19.
On Friday, ESPN's Adam Schefter says his sources tell him that there were two positive tests for two separate NFL teams: a Vikings' linebacker and a Denver Broncos' offensive lineman.
According to the Pioneer Press sources, the Vikings player is seven-year veteran Todd Davis.
The team later confirmed Davis was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but did not confirm if Davis tested positive for COVID-19.
"This reserve list category 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," the team said. "Clubs may not disclose whether player is in quarantine or is positive for COVID-19."
On Wednesday, the team also placed cornerback Cameron Dantzler on reserve/COVID-19 list.
The Vikings (1-5) are set to play NFC North rival Green Bay Packers (5-1) on Sunday at noon.
