The Detroit Lions had to place six players on the reserve/COVID-19 list this past week and had 12 others and six coaches who battled the flu, which could lead to a potential roster crunch ahead of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, sources told ESPN.
According to a source, running back Jamaal Williams, who was placed on the COVID list, was informed after practice Friday that he had tested positive.
The Lions are worried that anyone around Williams could be a close contact with the virus. The team waits to see if any more players need to be added to the reserve/COVID-19 list before the game.
The Lions were having discussions Saturday night to figure out what measures they would need to take if more players test positive for the virus before the game.
There were no discussions about postponing the game until Monday night as of Saturday night, but one scenario that has come up is delaying the game until Monday night.
Williams is out for Sunday's game and could miss next week's game as well.
The Lions were facing questions about their running backs. According to a league source, Swift is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve because of his shoulder injury.
The Lions are expected to lean on a combination of running backs, including Craig Reynolds.
Reynolds is one of seven players recently added from the practice squad, and six of them have been designated as replacements on the roster. They are joined by defensive back Nickell Robey-Coleman and tight end Shane Zylstra.
