The team announced in a tweet Saturday night that all COVID-19 tests taken on Thursday night and Friday morning by the traveling party were negative.
The entire traveling party will continue to self-isolate and be tested daily.
The unidentified player and staffer who tested positive on Thursday stayed behind in Miami for further testing.
