More COVID problems in the NFL — the Indianapolis Colts say “several” members of the organization tested positive Friday … so they’re shutting down the team facility.
“This morning, we were informed that several individuals within our organization have tested positive for COVID-19,” the team said in a statement.
“The team is currently in the process of confirming those tests. In the meantime, the practice facility will be closed and the team will work remotely while following NFL protocols.”
“We are in communication with the NFL and will have more information when available.”
The team has not identified the people who tested positive — unclear if it’s players, coaches, execs, etc.
The Colts — led by QB Philip Rivers — are scheduled to host the Cincinnati Bengals in Indy on Sunday. But, now it seems that game could be postponed or canceled if the COVID tests are confirmed.
The Colts news comes one day after the Atlanta Falcons closed their facility following positive COVID tests.
Several teams have been affected by COVID so far this season — from the Tennessee Titans to the New England Patriots, Raiders, Chiefs and more.
