Now that the trio of Lions’ are medically cleared from the COVID-IR, they will need to pass a physical at Allen Park and can then join the team’s strength and conditioning program which began last Monday.

After beginning the week with eight players on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the Lions removed Isaac Nauta on Monday, Justin Coleman and Matthew Stafford — who was removed after receiving a false-positive result – on Tuesday, Kenny Golladay on Wednesday, and three players today, leaving undrafted rookie safety Jalen Elliott as the only Lions’ player remaining on the list.

The Lions still have another three days left on their strength and conditioning program and are set to begin Phase 2 of training camp on Wednesday, working their way towards non-padded practices later in the week and padded practices the following week.

The Detroit Lions announced that they have removed starting corner Justin Coleman from reserve/COVID-19 list.

The Detroit Lions announced that they have removed starting corner Justin Coleman from reserve/COVID-19 list.

Dave Birkett of the Free Press is reporting that Coleman was asymptotic after testing positive and that would line up with the shorter timeline of return. His next step is to receive a physical from team doctors at Allen Park and then he can join the team’s strength and conditioning program already in progress.

After beginning the week with eight players on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Coleman joins Matthew Stafford — who was removed earlier in the day after receiving a false-positive report –, and Isaac Nauta yesterday, leaving the Lions still have five players remaining on the list:

  • WR Kenny Golladay
  • TE T.J. Hockenson
  • CB Amani Oruwariye
  • S Jalen Elliott
  • P Arryn Siposs

Matthew Stafford removed from reserve/COVID-19 list after False-Positive test result

The Detroit Lions announced they have removed quarterback Matthew Stafford from reserve/COVID-19 list after False-Positive test result.

The Detroit Lions have removed quarterback Matthew Stafford from the reserve-COVID-19 list.

In a statement released by the team, the Lions insisted that Stafford never had COVID-19 — disputing an earlier report from MMQB’s Albert Breer — and that his test was a False Positive result.

“Today we removed Matthew Stafford from the COVID-IR list and onto the Active Roster,” the Lions said in a press release. “As a result of a False-Positive test result, he was forced due to NFL/NFLPA protocols to sit out until he received two negative tests. His testing sequence for the Pre-Entry period was: negative, negative, False-Positive. The next three tests were all negative.

“To be clear, Matthew does NOT have COVID-19 and never has had COVID-19 and the test in question was a False-Positive. Also, all of Matthew’s family have been tested and everyone is negative.”

Stafford’s next step is to report to Allen Park for a physical and then he can begin the team’s strength and conditioning program.

Isaac Nauta removed from reserve/COVID-19 list

The Detroit Lions have announced that they have removed tight end Isaac Nauta removed from reserve/COVID-19 list.

The Detroit Lions have announced that they have removed sophomore tight end Isaac Nauta removed from reserve/COVID-19 list.

Nauta is the first of eight players the Lions placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list last week, and the seven who still remain are:

After just days spent away from Allen Park, it’s presumed that he was asymptomatic, but unclear if he actually tested positive for the coronavirus. In either scenario, Nauta would have had to pass at least two follow up tests in the last five days to pass health requirements.

Now he is eligible to return to Allen Park and after he passes his team physical, he will be able to attend the Lions strength and conditioning program already in progress.
