Atlanta has, to this point, been lightly impacted by the wave of COVID-19 that is currently crashing over the entire NFL. When you look around the league and see teams like New Orleans and Washington playing games down 10-plus players, you’re very thankful that the Falcons don’t have the health and gameday concerns that come with those positive tests.
Well, you were thankful, anyways. It appears the wave is now reaching the shores of Flowery Branch, to stretch this metaphor a little further, as the Falcons announced four players have been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Brandon Copeland, Tajae Sharpe, Dorian Etheridge and James Vaughters are all placed on the COVID-19 list by the Falcons.
