Kansas City’s Mecole Hardman reportedly added to COVID-19/reserve list
KANSAS CITY, Mo (KMIZ)
Reports said the Kansas City Chiefs added wide receiver Mecole Hardman to the COVID-19/reserve list.
Several national media outlets, including ESPN, reported the news on Wednesday afternoon.
The Chiefs have not confirmed Hardman's placement yet.
When a team puts a player on the list, it does not necessarily mean that players has tested positive for COVID-19. Anyone who has even just been exposed can be placed on the reserve.
According to the NFL's COVID-19 protocols, a player must test negative for five, consecutive days before they will be able to return.
On November 5, one Kansas City staff member tested positive for COVID-19, which resulted in a complete shutdown of training facilities.
The club did move forward with their Sunday matchup versus the Carolina Panthers, due to no additional positive tests.
