On Wednesday, Detroit Lions safety Jalen Elliott was listed on the team’s injury report as a non-participant for non-injury-related purposes. On Thursday, they placed him on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Unbelievably, this is Elliot’s third time (!) on the reserve/COVID-19 list in the past two seasons. He was first added in July of 2020, then again that November, and now a tick over a year later.
With center Evan Brown being removed from the list earlier in the week, it looked like the Lions were headed in the right direction and possibly had a hold on the spread of the virus.
