The Browns announced that they placed running back Dontrell Hilliard and safety Jovante Moffatt on the reserve / COVID-19 list. Four other players from four teams were also placed on the COVID-19 list on Sunday, according to the NFL transaction report.
Ravens defensive end Nigel Warrior, Bengals defensive end Kendall Futrell, Cowboys wide receiver Jon’Vea Johnson and Chiefs wide receiver Aleva Hifo are now also on the COVID reserve list- 19, according to the NFL transaction list.
The path to an NFL roster is now longer for the four players, who will miss significant conditioning time.
The new reserve list category was created for a player who tests positive for COVID-19 or is quarantined after being in close contact with an infected person. If a player falls into any of these categories, his club is required to place the player on the reserve / COVID-19 list.
Clubs cannot reveal whether a player is quarantined or positive for COVID-19.
