Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft has been activated from the COVID-19 reserve list, two days after the Bills first moved him there because of a positive test. The quick turnaround for Kroft suggests a false positive, and Kroft’s wife, Lexi, said as much on Twitter on Sunday. As she put it, Kroft turned in five negative tests after his initial positive test, which is why the Bills cleared him to return to the roster so quickly.
This had to be a frustrating situation for Kroft and everyone in his corner. On the one hand, a positive test the day before a Bills game is the most vulnerable time for the team and the player, and the team was probably in the right to assume the worst and isolate Kroft just in case.
