This does not bode well for the upcoming 2020 NFL season.
On Wednesday, it was reported by JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington that Redskins rookie wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden tested positive for COVID-19, but he has since “self-quarantined and is asymptomatic,” sources have told NBC Sports Washington.
The Redskins selected in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He averaged 75 catches per season with 10 touchdowns and around 1,100 yards in two years at Liberty University.
Here’s the statement from Liberty on March 29 related to this positive test:
“Liberty is also aware of a recently graduated student who is taking additional online classes and who lives off campus with his family. He remained in Lynchburg during spring break. He was advised to self-isolate based on his reported symptoms while his test results were being processed. Despite his status as a graduate, he consulted the campus clinic to see the doctors he had been seeing while a residential student. This online student was not impacted by the University’s decision to allow residential students to return to their rooms.”

Antonio Gandy-Golden wasn’t the first player in the league to test positive, but if more and more continue to do so as the season nears, the NFL might be faced with a harrowing decision to make.
