Chiefs place Robinson, Kilgore on COVID-19 list

The Kansas City Chiefs placed receiver Demarcus Robinson and backup center Daniel Kilgore on the COVID-19 list, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Both players are deemed close contacts and should be available to play in Super Bowl LV on Sunday should they continue to test negative, adds NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid confirmed the roster moves Monday during his media availability.

"We found it out yesterday. That's about as far as I can go with it. They'll work through it," Reid said, according to Mark Maske of the Washington Post.

Both Robinson and Kilgore are listed as backups but are an important part of the Chiefs' depth.

Robinson started nine games and recorded 45 receptions for 466 yards and three touchdowns.

Kilgore backs up starter Austin Reiter. He appeared in seven games this season, starting four.
