NFL Players To Spend Three Weeks On IR For COVID-19
4 years agoThe NFL and Players Association reached an agreement on Thursday regarding the procedures for dealing with players that test positive for COVID-19 during the 2020 season. Players who test positive for the virus will be placed on a COVID-19 list for three weeks, creating a roster spot that would be filled with a player that is negative for the virus, according to a league source. However, it's unclear what will happen if a player on the list can't return after three weeks. He must return to the active roster within three weeks after that or he will revert to Injured Reserve. It's a unique adjustment during a unique time. It'll also make things very difficult for fantasy owners if some of their players have to miss three weeks at a time.
