The COVID-19 outbreak that is racing around the NFL is not sparing the New York Giants. The Giants announced Wednesday that are now up to six players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, five of whom have tested positive this week.
Rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list earlier in the week. On Wednesday, wide receiver John Ross, edge defender Oshane Ximines, linebacker Cam Brown and cornerback Aaron Robinson all tested positive and were placed on the reserve list. Safety Xavier McKinney was placed on the list as a high-risk close contact.
As a close contact, if McKinney continues to test negative, he will be allowed to return to the Giants facility on Saturday and would be able to play on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys in MetLife Stadium.
