Just 11 days before the Kansas City Chiefs‘ regular-season opener, Pro Bowl safety Tyrann Mathieu is heading to the NFL’s reserve/COVID-19 list.
League sources told ESPN, NFL Media and the Kansas City Star on Wednesday that Mathieu tested positive for COVID-19, leading to his placement on the list. According to the outlets, the All-Pro defensive back is asymptomatic.
Mathieu is vaccinated against the coronavirus, according to ESPN.
To be removed from the COVID-19 list and cleared to play, Mathieu will need two negative tests at least 24 hours apart. He also will need to remain asymptomatic.
