Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reported that New Orleans Saints safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson is being placed on the COVID-19 list, though it’s unclear yet whether he returned a positive test result or was in close contract with a high-risk individual.
If Gardner-Johnson did test positive, he’ll be sidelined for at least 10 days before he can return to action, though that assumes he tests negative once the league-mandated window opens. Assuming that’s the case, the soonest he could return would be Saturday, Jan.
