The New England Patriots on Saturday placed tight end Jordan Thomas on the reserve/COVID-19 list, ruling him out for Monday night’s matchup with the Buffalo Bills
Players can be placed on COVID reserve if they either test positive for the coronavirus or have been in close contact with a person who tested positive.
The Patriots will be allowed to elevate a player from their practice squad as a COVID-19 replacement Monday night if they choose to do so. This would not count as a standard gameday elevation, meaning a player who already has been elevated twice (like Patriots receiver Isaiah Zuber) could be called up again.
