The Pittsburgh Steelers had one player and two coaches test positive yesterday, a day after they placed three other players on the Reserve/Covid-19 List. To date, we have been unable to learn who if any of those three players—Stephon Tuitt, Isaiah Buggs, and Jerald Hawkins—tested positive or were deemed close contacts of a positive case.
According to Mike Florio, a league source said that it’s believed yesterday’s positive test results came from point-of-care testing, and that the Steelers’ test results take longer to be received than just about any other team because they are located further from their testing site.
