Buffalo Bills cornerback Josh Norman has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not play in Sunday's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, the team announced on Saturday.
The Bills also announced that tight end Tyler Kroft, cornerback Levi Wallace, and safety Dean Marlowe all came in close contact with Norman, so they'll be place on the reserve/COVID-19 list, too. Furthermore, they will not be playing in Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.
Despite the disappointing news Saturday, the Bills’ team flight to Arizona this morning is proceeding as scheduled and the game against the Cardinals will still be played. The Bills have elevated linebacker Darron Lee, cornerback Daryl Worley, wide receiver Jake Kumerow, safety Josh Thomas, and cornerback Dane Jackson.
According to Josina Anderson, Josh Norman is reportedly feeling fine after testing positive for COVID-19. Norman reportedly took two nasal COVID tests Saturday morning, one came back positive, and the other came back negative.
“It's just hard that my teammates have to be impacted too with the contact tracing, but we will all support the team and bounce back,” Norman said on Saturday, via Anderson.
Norman also said that he was looking forward to facing the Arizona Cardinals this week, however, since he tested positive, he'll have to wait until next game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Since the Bills are scheduled to have a bye week next week, they won't play the Chargers until Nov. 29.
Bills, who currently own a record of 7-2, are the top-seeded team in the AFC East. They're currently 1.5 games ahead of the second-seeded Miami Dolphins.
