J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, John Hightower Put On COVID-19 List
4 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside tested positive for COVID-19 and has been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. He will miss the team's Week 11 game against the Browns. Rookie receiver John Hightower and wideout Deontay Burnett are also going on the COVID-19 list as high-risk close contacts. It's a big blow to Philly's offense, although Arcega-Whiteside was a healthy scratch last week and has just two catches on five targets in seven games this season. Hightower has nine receptions for 166 yards in nine games as an occasional deep threat. Rookie Jalen Reagor and Travis Fulgham should remain Philly's top pass-catchers, with Greg Ward Jr. and Alshon Jeffery working behind them.
