A positive test result for COVID-19 could sideline any NFL player, even if it comes during Super Bowl week.
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers reportedly asked about this situation on an NFLPA call Friday, questioning if there are any options for a player who is asymptomatic but tests positive. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the player would have to sit for at least five days.
He would eventually be cleared if he tested negative for the virus twice, at least 24 hours apart.
