While things have been going well on the field, a potentially big issue could be coming up for the Arizona Cardinals coming out of the bye week.
According to Mike Garafolo of NFL.com the Arizona Cardinals had two positive Covid-19 tests over the weekend.
The #AZCardinals had two players test positive for COVID-19 this weekend, sources tell me and @RapSheet. They were on a bye so they merely kept the facility closed today for a deep cleaning. They’re slated to practice tomorrow.

We have heard nothing from the team at this point, but the Cardinals being on their bye week likely made the severity of it less in terms of the public response and freakout.
The other big issue is we don’t know who it is right now. The reason is that we have seen a number of false positives come out first with regards to NFL players, so the NFL is likely keeping things under wraps until we have confirmation that the players will miss a game.
No matter what, we will be watching this closely until we get confirmation on who it is, we don’t want to see any speculation.
Let’s hope it is nothing serious and for a quick recovery.
