On a Monday when many members of the Miami Marlins tested positive for coronavirus, the NFL had its own worrisome case.
Eric Sugarman, the Minnesota Vikings head athletic trainer and team’s infection control officer, tested positive for the virus. The team announced it and had a statement from Sugarman.
Members of Sugarman’s family tested positive as well. They are in self-quarantine, the team said.
Eric Sugarman will continue role as infection control officer
Having the person who is in charge of keeping the team from getting the virus catch it himself is a reminder of the challenges the NFL will face this season.
