At Least 5 Alabama Football Players Reportedly Test Positive for COVID-19

At least five Alabama football players reportedly tested positive for COVID-19.

Per BamaInsider.com, the positive tests came as players reported back to campus in Tuscaloosa this week.

Simone Eli of CBS 42 in Birmingham confirmed the Bama Insider report, adding the players showed no symptoms when they received their positive results on Thursday after being tested on Tuesday and practicing together on Wednesday.

A source told Eli the players "should" be in quarantine now and the practice was a gathering players chose to plan on their own, as team activities and voluntary workouts don't begin until next week.
