Bruce Arians considers keeping 3rd QB away from facility in case Tom Brady, backup are quarantined

There is a plethora of things to think about for sports leagues returning to action during the COVID-19 crisis. The obvious: where, when, how, tests?

The maybe not-so-obvious for NFL coaches: Should I self-quarantine a quarterback?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians has pondered that question as coaching staffs around the league are returning to team facilities. There is still uncertainty over how the season will be played, and presumably if there is a positive test that player would be quarantined.

Speaking on former defensive end Chris Long’s podcast “Green Light”, Arians said he might keep one quarterback away from the facility in case Tom Brady and his back-up both need to be quarantined.
