KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City Chiefs starter was placed on the COVID-19/reserve list on Tuesday, according to a report.
NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero said linebacker Anthony Hitchens, along with Los Angeles Rams defensive back Juju Hughes, both were designated as high-risk close contacts.
According to Pelissero, that means both players could return after five days in isolation as long as they don’t test positive for the virus.
