Two Rams Placed on NFL's Reserve/COVID-19 List

The Los Angeles Rams had avoided using the NFL's Reserve/COVID-19 list until today when they placed two players on the list.  Rookie linebacker Terrell Lewis and defensive lineman Michael Hoecht were placed on the list today. 

Players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list either have a confirmed positive case or have been quarantined after coming in contact with an infected person.

While these are the first Rams to be placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, Rams Brian Allen and Andrew Whitworth had coronavirus in the offseason.

These players have been added to the NFL Football Positive List for COVID-19. Visit that link to see all NFL players that have tested positive or added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list to date.

List of NFL Players Added To COVID-19 List Past Few Days

As rookies and veterans report to NFL camp, they are taking COVID-19 tests and many have landed on the NFL's new Reserve/COVID-19 list.  Due to privacy concerns, the NFL is not confirming tests are positive, but are saying players placed on this list have tested positive or come in close contact with an infected person.  The policy states:

"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. If a player falls into either of these categories, their club is required to immediately place the player on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Per agreed upon NFL-NFLPA policy, clubs are not permitted to comment on player’s medical status other than referring to roster status. Clubs may not disclose whether the player is in quarantine or is positive for COVID-19."

The team remains in Philadelphia and will continue to undergo testing while there.  We will see how many games need to be canceled/postponed because of this and if any Philadelphia Phillies start testing positive.

I will update the site if any of the names of the positive tests are revealed.

UPDATE - The Phillies vs. Yankees game today has also been canceled.

UPDATE 7/28 - Ken Rosenthal reports that an additional four players have tested positive, and the total amount of players positive for coronavirus is now 15 plus a couple coaches. (Link)

Marlins Jorge Alfaro and Harold Ramirez Positive for COVID-19

Miami Marlins Jorge Alfaro and Harold Ramirez are the other two Marlins who have recently had positive COVID-19 tests.  It was speculative that Alfaro went on the injured list because of coronavirus, but now Jon Heyman confirms it.

Alfaro and Ramirez join Garrett Cooper and José Ureña as recent Marlins to test positive for COVID-19.  They have been quarantined since testing positive and will be able to rejoin the team after two negative tests at least 24-hours apart.  The Marlins have also delayed traveling home from Philadelphia, most likely to get more test results from other team members before traveling.

Marlins Garrett Cooper Tests Positive For COVID-19

There were reports today that multiple Marlins have tested positive for COVID-19 and 1B/OF Garrett Cooper was one of the confirmed cases.  Robert Murray confirmed Garrett Cooper's positive result via Twitter.

Cincinnati Reds Matt Davidson Tests Positive for COVID-19

The Cincinnati Reds placed infielder Matt Davidson on the 10-day COVID-19 injured list after he tested positive for coronavirus.  Matt Davidson played in the season opener on Friday as the designated hitter.  His test was taken before the game and the results were not known until after the game.  He becomes the first MLB player to have a positive test after playing in a game.

It should be interesting to see if anybody else that played in that game with Matt Davidson has a future positive test.
