Two offensive players for the Chiefs came in close contact, and they still have a chance to play this Sunday in Super Bowl LV if they each meet two criteria.
The Kansas City Chiefs have placed two offensive players on the COVID-19 coronavirus reserve list just six days prior to the Chiefs playing in Super Bowl LV. Wide receiver Demarcus Robinson and backup center Daniel Kilgore were placed on the list because of close contact. These are the first players from this week’s big game to be placed on the COVID/reserve list before the Super Bowl, which is scheduled for this Sunday, February 7, in Tampa, Florida. The Chiefs will play the hometown Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Should Kilgore and Robinson check out as only close contacts, they could still potentially play Sunday if they have negative COVID tests for five-consecutive days, according to the breaking news report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
