When the NFL changed its COVID testing policy last week so only targeted players would be subject to testing, speculation was that players would not disclose symptoms for fear of missing time.
With the Detroit Lions, that has proven not to be the case.
Lions quarterback Jared Goff indicated in his weekly interview with 97.1 WXYT-FM that he self-reported the cold-like symptoms that led him to take a COVID test Monday.
Goff tested positive for COVID-19 and was placed on the reserve/COVID list.
The Lions likely will play Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons without their starting quarterback — every Lions player to test positive for COVID has missed at least one game this season.
