Lions close practice facility after pair of positive COVID-19 tests

The Detroit Lions announced Tuesday morning that they've closed their practice facility following two members of the organization testing positive for the COVID-19 virus.

"Earlier this morning, we were informed of two positive COVID-19 tests within our organization," the team said in a statement. "As a precaution, the team practice facility is currently closed and our players and coaches are conducting meetings remotely today. As we adhere to our Intensive Protocols and conduct contact tracing, we will continue to communicate closely with the NFL and its medical staff and gather more information."

The Lions are coming off a game in Nashville, one of the nation's hotspots for the virus.
