AUBURN — Auburn's preseason schedule ground to a halt this past week.
The Tigers haven't practiced since Tuesday after the team returned nine positive COVID-19 tests and had to quarantine seven more, coach Gus Malzahn said. In all, 16 players are currently sidelined.
"We had a pretty challenging week last week," he said.
Malzahn declined to go into specifics about who tested positive or which positions they played, but did say that two position groups were hit hard enough that "we just didn't feel like we had enough guys to be able to practice" on Wednesday.
