Panthers Add Eight Players to Reserve/COVID-19 List
The Panthers revealed some not-so-good news Monday afternoon. The team added eight players to the reserve/COVID-19 list. This doesn't mean that they will automatically be out this Sunday, though. Being on this list could mean one of these two things:
1) The player received a positive test.
2) The player was exposed to the virus.
With that being said, here are the players who were added to Carolina's reserve/COVID-19 list:
DT Derrick Brown
WR DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel
WR Ishmael Hyman (Practice squad)
LB Shaq Thompson
DL Zach Kerr
LT Greg Little
P Michael Palardy (IR)
It should be noted that defensive linemen Yetur Gross-Matos and Bruce Hector were on the list prior to the announcement.
First and foremost, the players' health and safety are the biggest priorities. We at SI Panthers wish a speedy recovery to everyone who had contracted the virus.
Coming off a much needed bye week, the Carolina Panthers face the Denver Broncos, who had to deal with their own issues with COVID-19 against the New Orleans Saints. The Broncos managed to play a game without an actual quarterback in week 12 due to similar issues in their 31-3 loss. The Panthers may not be as depleted as that Denver team was, but this situation is still a definite concern. We will provide you with more updates as more details emerge from this predicament.
