Per agreed-upon NFL-NFLPA policy, clubs are not permitted to comment on a player's medical status other than referring to roster status. Being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list is for a player who either tests positive for COVID-19 or who has been in close contact with an infected person or persons. Reports have said Love is vaccinated, however, and he feels confident he can return for Week 14 with two negative tests in 24 hours.
