Texans shut down facility after player tests positive for COVID-19

The Houston Texans are the latest NFL team dealing with a positive COVID-19 test. The organization announced on Thursday morning that they’ve decided to close their facility for the day and work virtually after a player tested positive on Wednesday night.

The Texans haven’t announced which player they’re moving to the reserve/COVID-19 list.

The Indianapolis Colts are also dealing with a positive test, but it’s a staffer and not a player. They will conduct meetings virtually, but practice will go on as scheduled.

More teams with COVID issues

A number of teams have had COVID-19 issues over the past week, most notably the two teams playing on Thursday night: the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers.
