COVID-19 Tracker: Five Players on Reserve; 120 Total Since Camps Opened
With the NFL season having opened Thursday night and 15 more games scheduled for Sunday and Monday, the numbers remain strong for the league’s control of the novel coronavirus.
The Arizona Cardinals had their first addition to the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, wide receiver KeeSean Johnson. He was the 120th player to go on the list since training camps opened almost seven weeks ago.
The total amount of players that have been on the COVID list have spent a cumulative 1,103 days on reserve. Currently, there are four other players on the coronavirus list: Jacksonville running back Ryquell Armstead for the second time; Tennessee tackle Isaiah Wilson, also for the second time; New Orleans running back Dwayne Washington; and Carolina practice-squad safety Natrell Jamerson.
The five players now on reserve have been for a total of 30 days.
