Sources: Eagles coach Doug Pederson tests positive for COVID-19

PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles coach Doug Pederson has tested positive for the coronavirus, according to league sources.

Pederson convened a previously unscheduled team meeting Sunday night to share the news with his players. He did this after receiving a second positive test result confirming the diagnosis.

Pederson is asymptomatic and feeling fine, according to a source.

One other staff member who had been in close contact with Pederson was sent home.

Pederson, who is believed to have contracted COVID-19 outside of the team's training facility, needs to quarantine and have multiple negative tests before returning to work.
