BREAKING: Nick Saban tests positive for COVID, experiencing mild symptoms

Alabama football head coach Nick Saban has tested positive for COVID, and unlike last time where it was a false positive, he is experienc…

Alabama head coach Nick Saban has tested positive for COVID-19, and is experiencing “very mild symptoms,” according to a press release by University of Alabama athletics medical staff Jeff Allen and Dr. Jimmy Robinson.

In October, Saban reportedly tested positive, putting his ability to coach against UGA in jeopardy. However, after numerous negative tests, it was ruled a false positive, allowing him to continue on with his everyday duties.

The most recent positive test will not be ruled a potential false positive, as he is experiencing symptoms.

Thre press release, which can be viewed below, makes it clear that his symptoms are very mild, but present. He will be following any and all guidelines and protocols.

This will likely eliminate any hopes of him being on the sidelines for the 2020 Iron Bowl, and potenitally the final regular season game against Arkansas.

Roll Tide Wire wishes Coach Saban a speedy recovery, and will keep you updated on any information tha becomes available.

49ers shut down facility after player tests positive for COVID-19

The San Francisco 49ers have shut down their facility after a player tests positive for COVID-19 ahead of Week 9 against the Packers.

The San Francisco 49ers are just days away from having lost to the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field. The 49ers, who have been riddled with injuries all season, were just dealt another blow on Wednesday morning when a player tested positive for COVID-19.

San Francisco issued the following statement via Twitter:

“The San Francisco 49ers were informed today that a player has tested positive for COVID-19 and the individual immediately went into self-quarantine,” the 49ers said. “Our organization has entered the NFL‘s intensive protocol and we are working with the league on contact tracing to identify high risk individuals. All team functions will be conducted virtually today.

“The health and safety of our players, staff and community are the organization’s highest priority. We will continue to work closely with the NFL and medical professionals and will follow their direction.”

The 49ers and Packers are set to square off in just over 24 hours on “Thursday Night Football.” That game remains a go, for now.

No Seattle players have tested positive for the coronavirus as of his post.

Former Alabama defensive back Marlon Humphrey confirms via Twitter that he has tested positive for COVID-19 less than 24 hours after playing in Baltimore Ravens’ loss to Pittsburgh Steelers.

Humphrey missed practice last week with an illness, along with multiple other Ravens players, in preparation for the Steelers game.

The 2017 first-round draftee played every single snap vs Pittsburgh, which will force the Steelers to also quarantine and test players due to exposure.

In response to the Crimson Tide product testing positive for the virus, the Baltimore Ravens have released a statement regarding their adherence to the NFL’s guidelines and protocols, as did the Steelers.

This is not an isolated incident within the league after yesterday, the Minnesota Vikings also had members test positive, forcing the Green Bay Packers to also fall into intensive protocol.

Roll Tide Wire will keep you updated on the health of Marlon Humphrey and the state of the NFL as they attempt to contain the virus and mitigate its spread across the league.
