CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers sent players home on Monday after a "somewhat significant'' number tested positive for COVID-19.
Pro Bowl defensive end Brian Burns was among those to test positive, a league source told ESPN
Rhule did not want to give specific numbers until tests were re-run and he has an official list of how many will go on the NFL's reserve/COVID-19 list. Carolina had eight players on the list going into Sunday's 32-6 loss to Tampa Bay.
Burns will be added to that list later today, the source said.
