On Wednesday afternoon, the Chargers added another player to the reserve/COVID-19 list in backup center Scott Quessenberry. According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Quessenberry and Saints running back Ty Montgomery were both placed on the list due to a positive COVID test.
While the loss of a backup player to the reserve/COVID-19 list isn’t the worst news on the head, it’s the potential ramifications that could follow in this situation. Since Quessenberry is the team’s backup center, there’s a chance his positive tests lead to one or more close contacts in the offensive line room. Since he plays center, there’s even a chance that Corey Linsley is one of them.
