De Seahawks refused undrafted free agent rookie cornerback Kemah Siverand earlier this week after he tried to sneak a woman into the Seattle team hotel, a violation of COVID-19 protocols, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com (Twitter link). Siverand eventually tried to disguise the woman as a Seahawks player by wearing her dress in Seattle clothing, per Pelissero. While the situation could normally be viewed with levity, Siverand’s decision – and subsequent release – reinforces how seriously NFL teams are (and should be) taking the prospect of a COVID-19 outbreak.
