Former Georgia quarterback Matt Stafford has been placed on the Detroit Lions COVID-19 reserve list.
Being placed on this list means Stafford has either tested positive for the virus or has come in close contact with someone who is infected.
Stafford is the eighth Lions player to be placed on this list, joining fellow Bulldog Isaac Nauta.
This news likely does not impact his eligibility next season. Players do, however, have the option to opt out of the upcoming season due to the virus.
Stafford does have four children and a wife who is one-year removed from brain surgery at home.
