Several Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans players have tested positive for COVID-19, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.

None of the players are believed to have been in the teams' facilities, but as the NFL tries to get ready for a full season, players testing positive is concerning.

Rapoport does point out that a month ago, NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills, said the expectation was that there would be players who tested positive, but the test was to get them located as quickly as possible and stop the spread from them to other players.

It's unclear at this point how many players tested positive for the coronavirus, but Rapoport followed up with a report that Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was among the group.

There have been mixed reactions around the league about how the league should approach the coronavirus situation. Denver Broncos rusher Bradley Chubb said he has faith in the NFL to make the right decisions:

“To be honest, playing football is like my No. 1 goal right now just because of the whole injury thing,” Chubb said via the Milford Daily News “But I feel like when it comes to the coronavirus, the NFL has great leaders in place to make sure we’re going to be back in the safest way possible. I know these guys are going to come up with a solution.”

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson also echoed the same thoughts.

“I’m not too concerned,” Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson said. “I think that if we’re going to be put back in the facility, I think measures are going to be taken.”

Either way, it's clear that the NFL could have some tough decisions to make as the season approaches.
