The Seattle Seahawks were almost able to make it two weeks without a player landing on the NFL’s Reserve/COVID-19 list but that all changed Sunday when second-year receiver, John Ursua, was named on the official transaction wire.
Because of privacy concerns, teams are not allowed to discuss the specifics of a player’s test or medical status, the list simply indicates that Ursua has either tested positive for the coronavirus or has been directly exposed to someone who has.
Ursua can later be removed from the list after meeting the league’s protocols for testing negative. He does not currently count towards the Seahawks 80-man roster at this time.
