The Kansas City Chiefs placed wide receiver Tyreek Hill and six other players on the COVID-19 list Tuesday.
Cornerback Rashad Fenton, tight end Blake Bell, linebacker Nick Bolton, guard Kyle Long, offensive tackle Lucas Niang and cornerback Armani Watts will join Hill. Tight end Travis Kelce and kicker Harrison Butker were already on the reserve.
Kansas City has seemingly become the NFL’s coronavirus hotspot ahead of Week 16, with a source describing the situation to Schefter as “a mess.” The Chiefs face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
Hill is the fifth-best receiver in the NFL with 1,178 yards and nine touchdowns. Kelce isn’t far behind with 1,066 yards and seven touchdowns. Mecole Hardman is the only other ball catcher on the team with 500+ yards.
Kansas City has won seven straight games and has the best record in the AFC at 10-4.
