49ers Close Facility; Lions Place QB Matthew Stafford on Reserve/COVID-19 List

The San Francisco 49ers and the Detroit Lions are the latest teams to deal with COVID-19 related issues.

First, SF wide receiver Kendrick Bourne tested positive for the virus on Wednesday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The Niners closed their facility as a precaution earlier in the day due to test results.

Then, Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. The list is for player’s who either test positive for conoravirus or has been in quarantine after coming in close contact with a COVID-positive person or persons.

Teams are not allowed to disclose why a player is placed on the list.

Stafford could rejoin the team for their Week 9 game, per Schefter.

Lions’ QB Matthew Stafford is considered a “high-risk, close contact” from a non team member, per source. His last contact was Monday, which means he would be eligible to come off the Resvere/COVID list Sunday and play vs. the Vikings, pending negative tests for him, per source.
