Former Detroit Lions LB Devon Kennard among 2 Cardinals to test positive for COVID-19

Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury confirmed on Monday that two of the team’s players tested positive for COVID-19 over the weekend, but said subsequent contract tracing showed limited risk and added that Sunday’s round of testing all came back negative.

Kingsbury wouldn’t identify the two players who tested positive and said, “it will be business as usual when it comes to practice (Monday).”

About five hours after Kingsbury met with reporters via a video conference call, Cardinals staroutside linebacker Devon Kennard, formerly of the Detroit Lions, announced via Twitter that he has contracted the virus.

“I learned that like many others, I have tested positive for COVID-19,” Kennard wrote.
