Football New York Giants player tests positive for COVID-19; club members quarantining by Mecca Lennon October 29, 2020 The New York Giants place offensive linemen Will Hernandez on the reserve COVID-19 list, according to the NY Giants. The #Giants had a player test positive for COVID-19 and close contacts have been sent home. "Quest Diagnostics Training Center will remain open, and the rest of the team will follow their normal practice and meeting schedule." https://t.co/bRY0F3ZvzD — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 29, 2020 The player was informed to self-quarantine and close contact staff and players remain home. Two coaches and all but four offensive linemen are quarantining following contact tracing. Those players will have meetings remotely. The facility will remain open. The Giants are working with the NFL for the next protocol steps. The #Giants have quarantined all but four of their offensive linemen after one tested positive for COVID-19, sources tell me and @RapSheet. — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) October 29, 2020 More on the #Giants, from me and @MikeGarafolo: Two #Giants coaches were sent home because they were considered COVID-19 close contacts: OLB coach Bret Bielema and DBs coach Jerome Henderson. So now several OL and two coaches. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 29, 2020 The lineman could be by Monday’s game. Their participation depends on what kind of contact they had with Hernandez. The #Giants are scheduled to host the #Bucs on Monday night. The timing of close contact for the others, and whether they are considered "high risk" exposures, will determine whether they can be cleared in time to play. https://t.co/swRniDnUo5 — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) October 29, 2020 The New York Giants are scheduled to play the Buccaneers on Monday night, 8:15 p.m. ET.
