Linebacker Anthony Barr latest Vikings player placed on COVID list

Linebacker Anthony Barr was the eighth Vikings player placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The move comes a day after Barr was scheduled to take his second coronavirus test as part of the entry protocols for training camp.

The reserve/COVID-19 list is for NFL players who have tested positive or were in close contact with someone who did test positive (contact tracing). Barr joins defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo, receiver Justin Jefferson, linebacker Cameron Smith, tackle Oli Udoh, safety Brian Cole, tackle Blake Brandel and guard Tyler Higby in quarantine.

Players on the list must remain in quarantine until clearing testing protocols.
