Two players for the Kansas City Chiefs have been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list over a “close contact” with someone who tested positive.
The players are wide receiver Demarcus Robinson and center Daniel Kilgore.

Both guys played in the AFC Championship game on January 24 against the Buffalo Bills.
Coach Andy Reid said he’s confident the players will “work through it”, but obviously could not guarantee they will play in Sunday’s Super Bowl against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Both players will be forced to quarantine for 5 days, which means no more practice for the rest of the week.
If they continue to test negative, there’s a chance they can play in the Super Bowl. Neither player has returned a positive COVID test at this point.
