The Arizona Cardinals’ next opponent, the Buffalo Bills, are the latest team to have to deal with a coronavirus curveball. The Bills announced four players were placed on the COVID-19 reserve on Saturday after starting cornerback Josh Norman tested positive for the coronavirus. He tested positive and three teammates were placed on the list as having been in close contact.
The three teammates are fellow cornerback Levi Wallace, safety Dean Marlowe and tight end Tyler Kroft.
They did not travel with the team to Arizona.
Defensive assistant coach Leonard Johnson must stay home as well.

Norman is the only starter of the group and he was slated to be primarily assigned to cover Cardinals receiver Christian Kirk, who had five receptions for 123 yards and a touchdown last week and has scored five touchdowns in the last three games.
