Cornerback Justin Coleman is the latest Detroit Lions player to be placed on the team’s COVID-19 reserve list.

The starting slot CB went on the list on Thursday afternoon. Per a report from NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero, Coleman is asymptomatic and tested negative during his initial screening on Tuesday but tested positive on Wednesday.

Coleman is the sixth Lions player to go on the list. All the other five were placed on the newly formed reserve list on Wednesday:

  • WR Kenny Golladay
  • TE T.J. Hockenson
  • CB Amani Oruwariye
  • P Arryn Siposs
  • S Jalen Elliott

If Coleman did indeed test positive, his timeline for a return is longer than if he was merely exposed to an infected person.
