The Chargers were notified that a player tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday night. On Thursday, the team unveiled that the player who tested positive was offensive lineman Ryan Groy.
Coach Anthony Lynn addressed the media earlier today by first saying that the team decided to send all of the players home and cancel practice as way of being cautious and give them a “peace of mind.”
Lynn added that he feels that the team has it “contained” and that they will pick up where they left off on Friday, assuming there won’t be any more positive tests prior to.
As of now, Lynn hasn’t heard anything from the league on the possibility of moving Sunday afternoon’s game against the Broncos to Monday or Tuesday.
He is hopeful that the matchup will remain as scheduled, but the team will be ready to make the adjustment if it has to be moved back.
