Players have been attending training camp as the football season is getting ready to start. Teams have had to take extra safety measures because of the coronavirus. Earlier this week, the San Francisco 49ers placed wide receiver Richie James Jr on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. The 49ers have now added a second player, running back Jeff Wilson Jr.
According to the 49er website, the COVID-19 list does not mean the player is positive,
The new Reserve/Covid-19 List has been created for a player who either tests positive for COVID-19 or has been quarantined after having been in close contact with an infected person or persons. If a player falls into either of these categories, his club is required to immediately place the player on the Reserve/COVID-19 List. Clubs are not permitted to comment on player's medical status other than referring to roster status and may not disclose whether the player is in quarantine or is positive for COVID-19.
