On Thursday, Buffalo Bills defensive back Siran Neal, along with teammate Dane Jackson, were added to the team’s Reserve/COVID-19 list and, according to reports, it was because he tested positive for the disease. After a player tests positive for COVID, the Bills’ protocol is to immediately re-test players to ensure the original test was not a false-positive. Well, according to ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques, it looks like Neal’s follow-up test came up negative. Neal confirmed it on Twitter.
COVID-19 testing is not 100% accurate, with positive tests being, at best, a sign that a person most likely has the coronavirus.
