The Green Bay Packers announced on Monday afternoon that wide receiver Davante Adams has been placed on the team’s COVID-19 reserve list.

This means Adams has either tested positive for COVID-19, or has been in close contact with an infected person or persons.

Teams are not allowed to comment on a player’s medical status regarding COVID-19 other than referring to roster status.

According to ESPN reporter Adam Schefter the team has now entered enhanced mitigation COVID protocols, which means daily testing and masking.
