NFL holding its breath as Super Bowl LV has first brush with COVID

Andy Reid didn’t look or sound overly concerned.

That has to be the most reassuring development after two of his Kansas City Chiefs players, center Daniel Kilgore and wide receiver Demarcus Robinson, were placed on the NFL’s reserve/COVID-19 list.

“It will all work out,” the Kansas City coach said, sounding if not confident, then at least hopeful. “It’s all work out for them when it’s all said and done.”

Neither has tested positive for the virus. Instead they are considered “high-risk” due to “close contacts.” As long as they don’t test positive on ensuing tests this week, then they should be cleared in time for Sunday’s Super Bowl.
