The Miami Dolphins have announced they have placed linebacker Kyle Van Noy, defensive tackle Christian Wilkins and wide receiver Matt Cole on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Miami entered the league's intensive protocol last week after an assistant coach tested positive and wide receiver Lynn Bowden, who had been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list last Friday, was activated on Thursday.
The veteran Van Noy is fourth on the Dolphins in tackles and has four passes defended, two sacks, two forced fumbles and two recoveries. Wilkins, the No 13 overall pick in the 2019 Draft, is sixth in tackles and has five passes defended.
The Dolphins are set to host the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
Browns close facility due to positive player test
The Cleveland Browns have closed their team facility on Friday after a player tested positive for coronavirus, the team has announced.
"Earlier this morning, we were informed that a player's test results have come back positive for COVID-19," the team said in a statement. "Our facility is closed this morning while contact tracing is being conducted."
The identity of the player was not immediately revealed.
The Browns were on a bye last week and quarterback Baker Mayfield was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He was activated back to the roster on Wednesday.
Cleveland are scheduled to host the Houston Texans on Sunday.
Ravens cornerback Marshall tests positive
The Baltimore Ravens announced on Thursday that cornerback Iman Marshall had tested positive for coronavirus.
