Bengals’ Nick Eason tests positive for COVID-19

The Cincinnati Bengals have had several assistant coaches miss time in the last two weeks due to COVID-19.

Now, another coach as reportedly contracted the virus, as Tom Pelissero reports defensive line coach Nick Eason has tested positive for COVID-19.

The #Bengals are going through contact tracing after DL coach Nick Eason tested positive for COVID-19, per sources. Today was a scheduled player off day. Any close contacts would’ve occurred on Sunday, so no impact expected on player availability for this week’s game.

It sounds like the Bengals avoided having players affected by the positive test, but it’s still a scary situation for Eason and his family.
