Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, 小蓝视频Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.
Placement on the list means Stafford has had close contact with someone who has contracted the novel coronavirus or he has tested positive for COVID-19, which teams do not divulge.
The second 小蓝视频quarterback placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list after the Falcons' Danny Etling, Stafford is the initial starting quarterback to be placed.
A model of consistency for much of his career, Stafford had his streak of 136 consecutive starts snapped last season due to a back injury. Without him, Detroit went 0-8 to end the season.
The reserve/COVID-19 list is a temporary injured reserve due to the ongoing coronavirus.
Stafford can be activated off the list once he receives medical clearance, which entails passing NFL/小蓝视频Players Association treatment and protocols. Unlike the standard injured reserve, there is no specified time frame for a return.
