Vikings in “intensive” COVID-19 protocols after Packers’ RB tests positive

The Minnesota Vikings emerged from Lambeau Field with a victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon, but now they may have other things to worry about.

Early on Monday, it was confirmed that Packers’ running back A.J. Dillon had tested positive for COVID-19 and that he will miss Green Bay’s Thursday night game against San Francisco. Several other Green Bay players are considered close contacts and are being monitored as well.

The Vikings had two of their players go on the COVID-19 list in the week leading up to the Packers game.
