The news comes just days after members of the Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys -- including star running back Ezekiel Elliott -- tested positive for the coronavirus.

The NFL has not announced any plans publicly to delay the start of the regular season or the pre-season and have also not indicated they are planning to play in a centralized location to curb the possible spread of COVID-19.
