Report: 49ers player tests positive for COVID-19

A San Francisco 49ers player who was working out with teammates in Nashville tested positive for COVID-19, sources told Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

The rest of the group, which includes all of the 49ers' quarterbacks, was tested Friday morning and awaits results, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

The 49ers said in a statement that they can't comment on the health of their employees due to federal and state privacy laws, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Coordinated by quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, player-organized 49ers workouts have been going on for weeks but only recently moved to Nashville. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel suffered a foot injury during a throwing session this week and reportedly will be sidelined for at least 12 weeks.

Multiple Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys players, including running back Ezekiel Elliott, reportedly tested positive for coronavirus recently, as did Denver Broncos defensive back Kareem Jackson.
