Rams place rookie Terrell Lewis and Michael Hoecht on reserve/COVID-19 list

The Rams have placed two players on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

The Los Angeles Rams were one of eight teams left in the NFL without a player on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but that changed on Friday. The team announced that it has placed defensive lineman Michael Hoecht and rookie outside linebacker Terrell Lewis on the list.

That doesn’t necessarily mean they have COVID-19, but they could have come in contact with someone who is infected. Teams are required to place players who test positive or come in contact with someone who has the coronavirus.

Lewis and Hoecht can be activated off the list after 10 days, or after five days and if they have two negative tests within a five-day span thereafter.
