Report: Patriots TE Devin Asiasi has COVID, out indefinitely

The New England Patriots are down a tight end to begin training camp.

Second-year tight end Devin Asiasi will be away from the team for "an undetermined amount of time" after testing positive for COVID-19, The Boston Globe's Jim McBride reported Tuesday.

Asiasi is vaccinated, and it's unclear if he's experiencing symptoms, per McBride. While the three vaccines used in the United States -- Pfizer-BioNTech and Johnson & Johnson -- all are highly effective at preventing COVID (especially serious illness as a result of COVID), positive test results are still possible after vaccination.
