The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and three others on the reserve/COVID-19 list after they were deemed high-risk close contacts with tight end Vance McDonald, who returned a positive test for the virus on Monday.

As high-risk contacts, Roethlisberger, OL Jerald Hawkins, RB Jaylen Samuels and LB Vince Williams must isolate for five days after their last contact with McDonald, and they cannot return to the UPMC Rooney practice facility for at least those five days. They are allowed to participate in team meetings virtually.
 
Why couldn't he make the list last week? :gaah:
 
Well, they'll finish 8-8 now

Still don't understand what the league considers "high-risk close contact" Aren't they all close contact with each other throughout the game?
 
well, fack.. . .5 days...so there's enough time that Ben can play on Sunday, assuming he shows no symptoms or gives a positive test.
 
so you're saying the Bengals stand a chance...
