Report: No NFL players tested positive for COVID-19 going into Week 2 Sunday games
Travel was always our biggest concern in regards to the NFL being able to finish its 2020 season once it got started. Good news: after a week of games and teams flying across the country, so far the safety protocols the league has implemented to prevent coronavirus outbreaks seem to be working.
According to a report by Ian Rapoport at NFL Network, there were no positive tests on Saturday morning for any players across the league, clearing the way for today’s games.

The Panthers have had a couple of players on the reserve/COVID-19 list: offensive lineman Chris Reed and defensive back Derrek Thomas. Thomas was waived 12 days ago. Reed returned to practice in a limited capacity this week but he remains on the list for now.
