Panthers now have 2 players on reserve/COVID-19 list

Chris Reed was placed on the COVID-19/reserve list.

Panthers coach Matt Rhule says the delay to today’s practice was due to an extra round of testing after offensive lineman Chris Reed was placed on the COVID-19/reserve list.

Here’s what Rhule had to say about the news, per the team website.

“It’s infected hundreds of thousands of people. I think we’ve realized all along we would have to put people on the COVID list. . . We did our normal testing this morning as we got here and just kind of listened to our doctors and trainers and went out and did a second round of the point-of-care testing.”

Reed joins defensive back Derrek Thomas on the reserve/covid list. He was waived/injured a few days ago.
