Report: No new positive COVID-19 tests for Raiders ahead of Week 7

The Las Vegas Raiders' COVID-19 tests came back clean Friday, and their Week 7 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers remains on schedule, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Raiders offensive tackle Trent Brown was placed on the COVID-19 list Wednesday, which resulted in the team sending its entire starting offensive line home from practice due to contact tracing.

As a result, the NFL flexed the Week 7 game between the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks to Sunday Night Football, replacing Vegas and Tampa Bay.

Offensive tackle Kolton Miller, guards Denzelle Good and Gabe Jackson, center Rodney Hudson, and safety Johnathan Abram were all placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

Most of the Raiders' offensive line has a chance to suit up against the Bucs, but Abram is listed as having close contact with Brown on Tuesday and wouldn't be cleared in time for Sunday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Vegas will host Tampa Bay on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET.
