The Chiefs also have a player who has tested positive for COVID-19 in Jordan Ta’amu.
Developmental quarterback Jordan Ta’amu has become the first known player on the Kansas City Chiefs roster to test positive for COVID-19. According to NFL reporter Ian Rapoport, the team has placed him on the COVID/Reserve list.
Ta’amu’s positive tests means that, as of press time, both the New England Patriots and Chiefs have had one player—along with Pats quarterback Cam Newton—test positive, which means quarantine measures and further testing must be done before the game is played.
