The Miami Dolphins came back from a weekend off ahead of the start of the regular season and had two players immediately land on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday morning.
Starting left tackle Austin Jackson and tight end Adam Shaheen are on the COVID list ahead of the Dolphins’ Week 1 game at the New England Patriots, the team announced.
Vaccinated players can return after two negative tests more than 24 hours apart. Unvaccinated players who test positive are still subject to the 2020 season’s protocols and require a 10-day quarantine. If unvaccinated and a close contact who hasn’t tested positive, the player sits out five days.
