If the Denver Broncos travel to New England this weekend, they'll do so without their running backs coach.
The Broncos learned Saturday morning that Curtis Modkins has tested positive for COVID-19. Denver said in a statement it remains in "regular communication" with the NFL but added that Modkins won't accompany the team to New England, suggesting the Broncos still plan on playing the Patriots on Sunday despite Modkins' positive test.
The Patriots reportedly placed James Ferentz on their COVID-19/reserve list Friday but re-opened their facility Saturday with the intention of playing the Broncos on Sunday, ESPN's Field Yates reports.
