TROY – Troy head football coach Chip Lindsey has tested positive for COVID-19, the second-year head coach announced Friday.
Troy’s game against Middle Tennessee on Saturday at Veterans Memorial Stadium will be played as scheduled.
A press release from Troy states Lindsey’s positive result came from Troy’s weekly PCR tests that are administrated every Wednesday to Troy’s complete roster of players and staff. Upon receiving the news of the positive test, Lindsey, who is experiencing very mild symptoms, immediately began to self-isolate away from the team and staff.
“I am obviously disappointed that I won’t be able to be at The Vet and with our team Saturday,” Lindsey said.
