NFL investigating positive COVID-19 tests coming from the same lab

On Saturday, an undisclosed number of NFL clubs had players receive a positive COVID-19 test. With a large influx of positives all recorded on the same day, the NFL has begun investigation as all the positive results came from the same testing location. The NFL explained in a statement released Sunday morning by NFL public relations spokesman Brian McCarthy.

While the NFL expects to still have positive cases when testing for COVID-19, seeing such a large influx in the same day from every team whose tests were processed at the same site gives a reason to question the results.
