The Kansas City Chiefs were hit by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic on Monday, with two players landing on the reserve list for the illness. Both players were deemed close contacts to a barber who, despite repeated previous negative test results, was found to be positive while conducting haircuts. The Chiefs have listed wide receiver Demarcus Robinson and center Daniel Kilgore on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
The positive test for the barber and the roster moves were reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Neither player has tested positive and, with continued negative test results, could still be cleared to play in Sunday’s Super Bowl LV.
