The three were reportedly exposed to a trainer who tested positive for COVID-19 and are deemed close contacts as a result. The trainer was fully vaccinated.

Neither player has tested positive, but because both are unvaccinated, they have to clear the five-day reentry testing protocol to ensure they remain negative.

Last season, the 32-year-old Beasley appeared in 15 games for the Bills and caught 82 passes for 967 yards receiving and four touchdowns.
