Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden acknowledged Friday that starting linebacker Cory Littleton will miss Sunday’s home game against the Denver Broncos because he is on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Littleton was put on the list Thursday. It has not be announced whether Littleton tested positive for the coronavirus or that he was in close contact with someone who did. However, Gruden suggested that Littleton does have the virus Friday when he said he spoke to the player Thursday and he feels fine.
Gruden said Nicholas Morrow will replace Littleton in the Raiders’ base defense against the Broncos.
