Carolina Panthers: COVID-19 concerns highlight bye week perils

(Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports) Zach Kerr

The Carolina Panthers’ bye week has come with some COVID-19 complications.

If this wasn’t the worst-case scenario for the Carolina Panthers coming off their bye week, then it was pretty close. The organization placed no fewer than eight players on the reserve/COVID-19 list after a well-deserved few days away from football, which has thrown preparations for their next game at home to the Denver Broncos on Sunday into chaos.

The Carolina Panthers took the quick decision to shut down team facilities and go virtual while the scale of this outbreak was fully identified.
