At least two Buccaneers players have tested positive for COVID-19, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Saturday afternoon:
This comes just a couple of days after it was reported that an assistant coach had tested positive for the virus, which has continued to impact the state of Florida at a rapid, record-breaking rate. The coaching staff had just returned to the AdventHealth Training Center this week. It’s worth mentioning that players and coaches aren’t yet allowed in contact, so these new reported cases would appear to be unrelated to the earlier reported case.
After Schefter’s report came out, the Bucs confirmed the news in a statement:
It’s interesting to note that team headquarters will not be closing, as we’ve seen with other teams and programs in the Tampa Bay area.
